Plot
CIA NOC operatives Matt and his pregnant fiancée Emily are tasked by their superior and friend, Chuck, to obtain the key called the Industrial Control Systems (ICS) – a device that can control any electronic system. They must get it from the Polish KGB agent-turned terrorist Balthazzar Gor during his children's grandiose birthday party.
Matt and Emily manage to steal the device and escape to a rendezvous point. However, on their flight home, the crew ambushes them for the Key as they are on Gor's payroll. The duo manages to neutralize the flight crew and barely escapes the plane crash. Realizing someone must have fed the flight crew information of their Key, the two decide to go off the grid.
Fifteen years later, the now married Matt and Emily reside in Atlanta under new identities while trying to care for their children Leo and Alice. This is until a filmed brawl involving the couple inside a nightclub attracts the attention of Chuck, as well as Gor's Polish–Belarusian mercenary group Volka, whose men shoot Chuck while he is trying to warn Matt and Emily.
Matt and Emily manage to lose the mercenaries, taking the children with them from school, before catching a flight to England. Matt had hidden the ICS Key inside the manor belonging to Ginny Curtis. She is Emily's estranged mother, and former MI6 sniper who heads an offshore NGO, Foxhunter Ltd.
Arriving in Heathrow, the family is pursued by both Volka and MI6, led by Emily's ex-boyfriend Baron. While they are inclined not to show their secrets to their children, the couple are forced to reveal the truth to them once they witness their parents fending off Volka's mercenaries and evading the pursuing MI6, before arriving at Ginny's manor.
When Matt and Emily find the ICS Key, they are forced to give it to Volka's mercenaries as they raid the manor. Chuck – who is not only revealed to be alive, but also working with Gor and Volka as revenge, due to him being fired from the CIA for the presumed deaths of Matt and Emily - abducts Leo and Alice and knocks their parents unconscious. Ginny fends off against a few of Volka's operatives, but her partner Nigel is injured by a stray bullet in the fray.
Using Leo's smart ring, they track Chuck down to a black-tie event in Tate Modern, London, where he plans to sell the ICS Key to the highest bidder. As a demonstration, his tech assistant Daphne uses the ICS Key to hack the power station to cause a brief blackout across London, then the Thames Barrier to forcibly open its floodgates. Matt and Emily infiltrate Tate Modern and knock out Chuck and Gor's guards while searching for their children.
The couple are followed by Baron and MI6, who also arrive to apprehend Chuck. While Baron's agents engage against the Volka operatives the couple, with assistance from Ginny, pursue Chuck, who intends to escape with Leo and Alice from London through the Thames Barrier. Nigel spots Daphne and crashes his van into hers, rendering her unconscious and securing the ICS Key.
Ginny guides Nigel to close the Thames Barrier while Emily commandeers a boat, and she and Matt catch up to Chuck. They proceed to dump Leo and Alice out into the water, subdue Chuck, and leave him on the boat as it crashes into the now closing barrier, presumingly killing him.
Rescued by both the police and MI6, the family rest in relief as they reconcile with Emily's mother. As the entire family attends Alice's soccer game, Matt and Emily are met by Baron. He informs them that Chuck's body has never been found, suggesting he may still be alive, and proposes they recruit Emily's father, whom Matt is unaware of.
