Scott Adkins is back as Navy SEAL Jake Harris in One Last Shot, the third chapter in the action series that began with One Shot (2021) and continued with One More Shot (2024). This time, the threat is bigger: a former comrade has taken the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff hostage inside a nuclear bunker and is trying to seize access to the country's missile defense network.
Dolph Lundgren joins Adkins in the new installment, with James Nunn returning to direct from a screenplay by Jamie Russell. The official trailer arrived at the start of September, ahead of the movie's Digital and DVD release later this month.

What Is One Last Shot About?
Seasoned Navy SEAL Jake Harris is called back into the field
when former comrade Elliot Carter turns domestic terrorist. Carter and his
forces seize the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff inside a nuclear bunker and begin
trying to obtain launch codes.
Harris is ordered to stop Carter before he can take control
of the U.S. missile defense network. The mission forces Harris and his team
into hostile territory filled with mercenaries, traps and unfinished business
from his own past.
The official synopsis makes the stakes clear: this is not
simply another hostage rescue. If Carter succeeds, the crisis could escalate
into global chaos.
When Does One Last Shot Release?
Sony Pictures has scheduled One Last Shot for Digital and
DVD release on September 22, 2026. The movie is already available for pre-order
through Sony's official page.
Unlike many of September's major theatrical releases, One
Last Shot is being positioned as a home-entertainment action release, making it
an easy fit for fans of Scott Adkins' direct, stunt-heavy style.
How Does It Connect to One Shot and One More Shot?
One Last Shot is the third Jake Harris movie. Adkins first
played the Navy SEAL in One Shot (2021), where Harris became trapped in a
high-pressure military crisis. He returned in One More Shot (2024), which moved
the action into an airport siege.
Director James Nunn and writer Jamie Russell return again,
giving the trilogy a consistent creative team. The series is also known for
using long-take action and editing designed to create the feeling of a
continuous operation unfolding in real time.
Who Is Elliot Carter?
Steven Cree plays Elliot Carter, a disillusioned former
comrade of Jake Harris who has turned against the country he once served.
Carter is dangerous because he understands military systems
from the inside. His plan targets both the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the
nation's missile-defense infrastructure, giving Harris an opponent who knows
how trained soldiers think and operate.
That personal history also gives the conflict more weight
than a standard terrorist-versus-hero setup. Harris is not only fighting an
enemy — he is confronting someone who once stood on the same side.
Dolph Lundgren’s Role
Dolph Lundgren joins the film as Admiral Mulholland, Harris'
commanding officer. The casting brings together two major modern action stars
who previously worked together on Castle Falls.
Lundgren's role appears to connect Harris directly to the
military command structure at the center of the crisis, while allowing the
movie to add another veteran action presence without taking the focus away from
Adkins.
What to Expect from the Action
The trailer emphasizes close-quarters gunfights, tactical
movement, bunker combat and hand-to-hand action. Harris is again presented as a
fighter who has to move through hostile territory with very little room for
error.
One Last Shot also reunites Adkins with an action team experienced in designing hard-hitting martial-arts choreography. The movie appears to continue the franchise's emphasis on physical stunt work and tightly staged combat rather than effects-heavy spectacle.

Who Directed One Last Shot?
James Nunn returns to direct the third installment,
continuing his collaboration with Scott Adkins after One Shot and One More
Shot.
Jamie Russell also returns as screenwriter. Ben Jacques is
credited as producer, while Signature Films is listed as the production
company.
Runtime and Rating
Apple TV lists One Last Shot at 1 hour and 37 minutes.
Rotten Tomatoes lists the movie as rated R for strong violence and language.
That rating fits the tone of the series, which is built
around military combat, gunfire and intense close-quarters action rather than
family-friendly adventure.

Final Thoughts
One Last Shot looks like a natural escalation for the Jake
Harris series. The first two films put Harris inside contained siege scenarios,
while the third gives him a threat that reaches directly into the highest
levels of U.S. military command.
The return of James Nunn and Jamie Russell should help
preserve the franchise's style, and adding Dolph Lundgren alongside Scott
Adkins gives the movie extra action-movie weight.
For viewers who prefer practical combat, tactical action and
stripped-down military thrillers, One Last Shot is one of September's most
notable home-entertainment releases.
