In the trailer, we see Pelham driving along the Californian coast to reunite with his ex-lover in the idyllic town of Carmel-by-the-Sea in California.

“Henry,” says Harrison as the pair sit down to dinner. “It’s been a long time.”

We then see a flashback of the pair in bed exchanging loving glances.

The clip also sees the head CIA operative (Laurence Fishburne) tell Pelham that the disastrous case of Flight 127 has been reopened upon the emergence of new information suggesting that the hijackers had inside help from the station in Vienna. This leads to Pelham viewing every one of his colleagues with suspicion as he digs through the past, including Harrison, telling her that he has been cleared of involvement in the scandal.

We also see Pelham’s boss instruct him to keep the investigation under the radar to avoid “the embarrassment of a prosecution”. If the mole turns out to be Celia Harrison, he continues, he needs to be able to trust the man “to do what’s necessary”.

As Harrison is put under the magnifying glass by the CIA, the trailer ends with a tense conversation in which Pelham asks her over dinner if what they had was real. Take a look:
