After the farcical gore of The Naked Gun, Liam Neeson is dialing it way back in Cold Storage, a grounded sci‑fi thriller that pits him against a parasitic fungus with extinction-level ambition. Directed by Jonny Campbell and penned by legendary screenwriter David Koepp, who has worked on Jurassic Park and Mission: Impossible, the film stars Neeson as Robert Quinn, a retired bioterror operative pulled back into action to contain a mutating microorganism.
Set beneath a storage facility built on an old military base and filmed in Italy and Morocco, Cold Storage also features Stranger Things’ Joe Keery and Barbarian star Georgina Campbell as unsuspecting night-shift workers caught in the outbreak. They must join forces with Quinn to stop the organism before it spreads across the globe. The cast includes Sosie Bacon, Lesley Manville, Vanessa Redgrave, and more.
The synopsis for the film reads,
“Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility’s inhabitants, human and otherwise.
It then adds,
“With time running out, it’s down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled retired bioterror operative (Neeson), to contain the merciless menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself.”
Cold Storage will be in theaters in 2026.
More details about Liam Neeson's The Naked Gun
Liam Neeson is diving headfirst into sci-fi thriller territory with Cold Storage, after bungling his way through slapstick chaos in The Naked Gun. The genre shift is wide and different, but somehow Neeson does it.
Liam Neeson’s comedic turn as Frank Drebin Jr., son of the iconic police lieutenant, was equal parts funny and riotous. In the 2025 reboot directed by Akiva Schaffer, Neeson brought unexpected deadpan brilliance to a franchise known for its rapid-fire gags and hilarious physics. Alongside Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, and a cast clearly in on the joke, the actor managed to parody the action hero persona he’s built over decades, all while chasing villains, dodging pies, and flirting awkwardly in the line of duty.

Though The Naked Gun didn’t break box office records, it cemented Liam Neeson’s comedic range and proved he’s game for anything, including snowman assassins and exploding chimps. Now, as he gears up for the high-stakes biological danger of Cold Storage, fans can only marvel at the range: from pratfalls to pandemics, Neeson stays booked and unpredictable.
The Naked Gun is now in theaters.
