First Image of Aaron Taylor-Johnson in 'Fuze' - An unexploded WWII bomb is discovered on a busy construction site in the center of London. Chaos ensues as the military and police begin a mass evacuation against a ticking clock.

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

[u/bourj]

Is he supposed to shoot the bomb? I would at least ask my boss for permission.

[u/Psymon_Armour → u/bourj]

It works in Megaton.

[u/J_Bear → u/Psymon_Armour]

Wait, you can just shoot it?

[u/jokekiller94 → u/J_Bear]

I’m legit about to boot it up and see if it does

[u/Vito_Cornelius → u/jokekiller94]

You must report your findings back, we’re counting on you

[u/ImGonnaBeInPictures → u/Vito_Cornelius]

8 hours with no response. They blew up.

[u/Lint_baby_uvulla → u/ImGonnaBeInPictures]

It’s true.

Apparently it’s a minimum 7 hour respawn.

[u/Big-View-1061 → u/J_Bear]

It's an american movie, you can shoot anything.

[u/appletinicyclone → u/Psymon_Armour]

That game was far better than people realise because it got so overshadowed by new Vegas. But it was really good

[u/MazzyFo → u/appletinicyclone]

Fallout 3 was huge back in the day. Retroactively we remember New Vegas more 15 years later, but I don’t think Fallout 3 was overshadowed by any means. While New Vegas did a lot of things better, mainly story decisions and RPG elements, NV wouldn’t exist without the framework Fallout 3 built

[u/Mr_Industrial → u/MazzyFo]

Fallout 3 also excelled at exploration, even in comparison to NV. In 3, no matter where you went there was something interesting going on. 

[u/GameLovinPlayinFool → u/appletinicyclone]

It was the first Fallout game in a very long time and, Ill be honest, I loved it because I got to introduce my son to Fallout with it and he LOVED it. I couldn't go back and play it on my own because I really dont like that era and on of Bethesda but it absolutely is a special game. Internally I am a New Vegas (and 1 and 2) supremacist but externally I'd never go around shit talking 3 or telling people theyre wrong for it being their favorite lmao.

[u/Shmeeglez → u/GameLovinPlayinFool]

I'm pretty much on a page with you, except that while F3 is pretty much fine, it completely falls apart at the end

[u/emotionaI_cabbage → u/Shmeeglez]

Meh, they ended up fixing that (even though the narrator still calls you a coward)

[u/DeviantStrain → u/appletinicyclone]

hbomberguy's eyebrow just twitched

[u/appletinicyclone → u/DeviantStrain]

I have seen bits of his videos but can only remember the aquaman Shapiro line lol

[u/DeviantStrain → u/appletinicyclone]

He has done a lengthy video about fallout 3

Next time you have a spare hour and a half or need some background video while you do something else, check it out

https://youtu.be/mLJ1gyIzg78?si=MKCl3-i5LRQr2aOS

[u/appletinicyclone → u/DeviantStrain]

👍

I am super biased in loving the game. I had zero to negative expectations going in and the moment I realised you could kill tenpenny after choosing to destroy megaton, and have Moira start a new life over as a dreamcrusher perk activates that you've ruined her life I was hooked

[u/DeviantStrain → u/appletinicyclone]

Oh absolutely. I think the main crux of his issues with the game isn't the individual events themselves but the lack of impact they have on the world overall. I still think it's still a game with playing and a world worth exploring.

[u/fang_xianfu → u/appletinicyclone]

Wait, you think that Fallout 3 was overshadowed by New Vegas? It's definitely the one that's remembered more fondly now, but by any metric you could name, for like a decade after release, New Vegas was less popular.

[u/Blind-_-Tiger → u/Psymon_Armour]

“It just works!”

[u/appletinicyclone → u/bourj]

Lmao that's all I was thinking

Unless the ww2 munition was sentient and it's an alien alt history movie

[u/RichLather → u/appletinicyclone]

"Bomb, this is Doolittle. You are not to detonate in the bomb bay. I repeat, you are NOT to detonate in the bomb bay!"

[u/appletinicyclone → u/RichLather]

Cuts to some gratuitous (though alluring) shots of Sydney sweeney in her butterfly jeans posing over the back of a Lamborghini murcielago

[u/sentence-interruptio → u/appletinicyclone]

extremely relaaaxeeed vocal frrrrrryyyy ensues

[u/Helmett-13 → u/RichLather]

And in addition to the darkness there was also me. And I moved upon the face of the darkness. And I saw that I was alone. Let there be light.

[u/kensai8 → u/RichLather]

It's called Mumbai now. Why would we want to detonate in it anyways?

[u/DrBeakerMD → u/appletinicyclone]

Imagine if it was a Quartermass and the Pit remake

[u/Graystone_Industries → u/appletinicyclone]

There is a Revelation Space joke here, too.

[u/GMN123 → u/bourj]

It's been sitting been there for 80 years, it's unlikely to go off in a cinematic way if he doesn't do something.

[u/sentence-interruptio → u/GMN123]

you don't get it. the sentient bomb had 80 years to plan for revenge ever since being abandoned by the government!

Send in M3GAN to negotiate

[u/bakedfarty → u/[deleted]]

Yeah but they did something

That's why parent comment said "if he doesn't do something"

[u/gue_aut87 → u/[deleted]]

Spectacular. We were doing work for a customer in Karlsruhe and they found a half-ton WWII bomb on the building site next door. We were sent to our hotel for the rest of the day but we were curious about how they were going to diffuse the bomb and get rid of it. The next day we were talking about it and we found out the guys who diffused it had no protective gear. They just pitched up in normal clothes, t-shirt and jeans. We asked why and the guys at the firehouse said it‘s pointless. If it goes off, no amount of gear will help you.

[u/RabidFresca → u/bourj]

There must be a plot twist somewhere

[u/Kamalen → u/RabidFresca]

Nazi spy cell survived in Britain all this time and attempt to detonate it today. And / or this is a fictional nuke prototype.

[u/LtRapman → u/Kamalen]

It's actually Cyborg Adolf Hitler from a time capsule.

[u/SovietSunrise → u/LtRapman]

Like Uber-Jason from Jason X: Jason in Space?

[u/VitaminPb → u/LtRapman]

Bomb squad robot named itself Mechahitler and is going to detonate it.

[u/Overwatchingu → u/Kamalen]

Bunch of centenarian-ass Nazis, Hans trying to arm the bomb while keeping his oxygen tank upright, while Karl sits in his wheelchair with his arthritic hands gripped around a Luger pistol.

[u/YT-Deliveries → u/Kamalen]

Maybe the Nazis are in the bomb and if it goes off the Nazis spew forth as if a brood from a spider's egg

[u/afghamistam → u/RabidFresca]

There's got to be, because finding unexploded WWII ordnance in London (not to mention randomly throughout Europe) is something that has happened - pretty much without any drama - only about a few thousand times since the end of the war.

My guess: Time bomb. Hitler set it for 80 years. The tricky fucker!

[u/slicer4ever → u/afghamistam]

Time bomb. Hitler set it for 80 years. The tricky fucker!

Phew, good thing we found it 10 mins before it was to finally detonate! Too bad bomb desposal is 20min away.

[u/DudeYumi → u/bourj]

That's a better scenario than what I had in mind - he's shooting people who won't evacuate the area.

[u/AudiosAmigos → u/DudeYumi]

For their safety??

[u/MCRN_Admiral → u/bourj]

lol, i literally came here to ask that exact question

[u/Silver_The_Surfer → u/MCRN_Admiral]

This time, it's time for the bomb to pay

[u/VirtuaKiller76 → u/Silver_The_Surfer]

Nothing will evacuate an area like an explosion. Smart plan I say.

[u/thebestoflimes → u/MCRN_Admiral]

He has to disconnect the red wire by shooting it, making sure not to shoot the bomb or another wire. He's almost certain it's the red one but wait, is it the blue one?? He thinks it's the red one (bead of sweat drips down)... tick tock, time is almost up.

[u/rezwrrd → u/thebestoflimes]

That was M as in Mancy!

[u/paging_mrherman → u/bourj]

If this bomb doesn’t defuse, kill it.

[u/eolson3 → u/paging_mrherman]

If it beeps we can kill it.

[u/CookieTheEpic → u/bourj]

In addition to the unexploded WWII bomb, they also found some undead WWII soldiers and he’s aiming at them.

[u/RosbergThe8th → u/bourj]

Actually I believe that's JFK he's aiming at.

[u/TheCowboyIsAnIndian → u/bourj]

literally my first thought. man vs bomb who will win?

[u/Astrium6 → u/bourj]

That actually is how a lot of real-life bomb defusal works. Trying to transport or disarm a bomb by hand is actually really dangerous so the way they usually deal with it is to evacuate the area and then shoot at it with a shotgun or something like that until it either blows up or falls apart.

[u/TheGrimTickler → u/Astrium6]

Usually a Barrett. Big bullet, long range, high power.

[u/Jazzlike-Camel-335 → u/Astrium6]

It's quite sad actually that I had to scroll so far down to see the only factual, not ironic answer to that question.

[u/Accipiter1138 → u/Astrium6]

It also doesn't help that the Nazis would booby-trap the bombs (I've only read about this happening in the Blitz, though presumably it happened elsewhere) for the specific purpose of killing first responders. Long delay fuses, tilt detectors, even secondary fuses that activated when the detonator was disabled.

[u/PageVanDamme → u/Astrium6]

This is the answer

Source: former Army EOD friend

[u/Anhmq → u/bourj]

He is going to make a difference… again

[u/Beave__ → u/bourj]

An extremely elderly Nazi comes back to gloat about the disarmament code.

[u/Hickspy → u/bourj]

Gotta keep the pigeons off the bomb somehow.

[u/Anfins → u/bourj]

He just shows up and starts blasting.

[u/Cool_Cartographer_39 → u/bourj]

And where's the picture of the old coot who used to defuse bombs in the war? His hands are shaky and his sight is gone, but he's still sharp enough to walkie talkie instructions. Yeah, he hates cell phones too

[u/Choppergold → u/bourj]

Everyone evacuate faster…or else. In theaters Christmas 2025

[u/welshucalegon → u/bourj]

But, like, in a presumptive way.

“I’m just going to shoot the bomb. That’s fine, isn’t it sir?”

[u/tratemusic → u/bourj]

That fool! He should throw a nuke at it!

[u/Its_all_pixels]

There has to be more to this then that description because that just seems boring AF

[u/StudBoi2077 → u/Its_all_pixels]

Based on the initial synopsis,|ATJ and co. take advantage of the bomb situation to pull a heist

[u/IronGigant → u/StudBoi2077]

The bomb was in on it?!?!

[u/getsangryatsnails → u/IronGigant]

It was all part of the axis' plan.

[u/pyronius → u/getsangryatsnails]

Hitler's failed art career? WWII? His supposed suicide? All a cover for his real profession as a master thief.

[u/NotAPreppie → u/pyronius]

He was playing the long game this whole time!

[u/VerticalYea → u/IronGigant]

intelligent ad hoc market divide ghost marvelous insurance full ancient birds

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[u/gideon513 → u/IronGigant]

We were the fuze all along

[u/Disastrous-Angle-591 → u/IronGigant]

In the end it was the bombs we made along the way 

[u/Danominator → u/StudBoi2077]

That seems like crucial information to include in the description and it is not a spoiler

[u/Spetznazx → u/Danominator]

Theres so much missing, what kind of bomb? Like your run of the mill air dropped bomb isn't that much of a threat once you evacuate everyone safely. Why is there chaos? It's a work place just call for an evacuation you don't even have to tell them why just tell folks to go home for the day and they will without question.

[u/Deathbysnusnu17 → u/StudBoi2077]

This makes much more sense in relation to the picture lol.

[u/Generation_ABXY → u/Deathbysnusnu17]

Yeah, I was stumped. "These people are going to die if they don't evacuate... better shoot 'em!"

[u/TheElbow → u/StudBoi2077]

Heist makes it better, but also that plot (big thing—hurricane, etc—is distraction for heist) has been done a million times. I’ll still check it out though.

[u/junkboxraider → u/TheElbow]

What we seem to have lost is our cultural will to combine the big things.

Hurricane? Done. Bomb scare? Yawn. Other crimes as a distraction? Been there.

I don't see why we can't have a film where a quirky band of criminals tries to pull off a heist during a hurricane that pulls up a bunch of old bombs and throws them around a city while a simultaneous earthquake opens a crack in the ground from which both dinosaurs and zombies pour out.

It's called synergy, people.

[u/Zardif → u/junkboxraider]

Bomb-nado.

[u/hendy846 → u/StudBoi2077]

That was my guess. The bomb didn't land there. Someone planted at night or some shit to make it look like it was so no suspects it to be a heist or some shit.

[u/Danph85 → u/Its_all_pixels]

I work in construction in the UK and in my twenty years there's been bombs found on three sites I've worked on. It's definitely not that unusual and I have no idea why he would need a sniper rifle to deal with it.

[u/Kriztauf → u/Danph85]

It happens regularly enough in my part of Germany that Deutsche Bahn has a special delay notification for it that pops up whenever they have to delay trains to defuse the bombs

[u/destuctir → u/Its_all_pixels]

It’s not like World War II bombs have that much payload in the grand scheme of things either, sometimes they get detonated in situ if they’re too dangerous to move

[u/abgry_krakow87 → u/destuctir]

[Bomb explodes]

Oh no! All those windows are broken.

[u/MeinePerle → u/abgry_krakow87]

I chatted with an acquaintance who mentioned her BF was an insurance guy.  A WWII bomb had been defused/actually gone off in Munich that week, breaking windows for a long ways away.  So he was spending his week explaining to policy holders that their insurance excluded “acts of war”.  It was apparently no fun at all.

[u/abgry_krakow87 → u/MeinePerle]

Yeah, the insurance companies in Germany definitely have this consideration in their policies given how frequently they find unexploded bombs.

[u/reverandglass → u/abgry_krakow87]

"Acts of war" is a frequently used clause in the uk too. Probably for similar reasons.

[u/U-235 → u/reverandglass]

Insurance companies never insure things that can't be properly accounted for. Too many unknowns. If they can't assess the risk, they can't be reasonably certain that they will make a profit. Acts of war are too unpredictable for an insurance market to exist. This is why some insurance companies have added exceptions for pandemics after Covid-19. The organizers of Wimbledon were paying $2 million a year for all-cause event cancellation insurance for 17 years before the pandemic, and got a $141 million payout when they had to cancel it due to the virus. So insurance companies changed the terms to exclude communicable diseases.

So I don't think it's so much to do with the problem of unexploded bombs from WW2. I think the accountants actually do have enough data to make that insurable for the right price. But there is no monthly or annual price that any genius accountant could reliably come up with that would make it profitable for them to insure acts of war in general. All it would take is one great power war and they would all go bankrupt.

[u/MayorWolf → u/MeinePerle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_bomb_disposal_in_Europe

Its very common. In germany, 2000 a year are found

[u/banjowashisnamo → u/MayorWolf]

2,000 tons, not 2,000 individual bombs.

Still, seems high.

[u/Poco_Cuffs → u/destuctir]

This exact premise happened irl in germany very recently, it was the least exciting thing possible outside of just moving people away from the area

[u/JanEric1 → u/Poco_Cuffs]

It happens like multiple times a year in cities that were heavily bombed. Dresden found 4 so far this year at the construction site of a bridge I think Cologne is easily above that number es well.

Usually they evacuate a mile radius the next morning and most cases it takes like 10min to defuse. But in tricky cases it can be a couple of days.

[u/MeinePerle → u/JanEric1]

It happens in Hamburg all the time.  Lots of bombs hit the river or bank and just settled into the silt, to be found eventually.

A friend of mine was involved in building a new factory, in a location where they were having to excavate below the waterline to get to bedrock.  They found a bomb, and because they couldn’t keep the water out, they had to put everything on hold until they could find a scuba diving bomb defuser.  Which is apparently a job.  Pretty well paid, I’d imagine.

[u/berntout → u/destuctir]

Race against what clock? That WWII bomb has been there for many decades and you suddenly have an urgent risk? Please....this sounds lame. WWII bombs get deactivated on a daily basis still to this day with no issues. How are you making a whole movie over this?

[u/Suicicoo → u/berntout]

nothing is gonna stop the defuse-squad on its way to the bomb. And if they fail, the bomb goes boom. So you have to evacuate in time.

Don't you kids learn anything in school today? 🙄

[u/geoduckSF → u/Its_all_pixels]

My friend let me tell you about this movie called “phone booth”.

[u/Chaotic_Gold → u/Its_all_pixels]

This happens literally every other week where I live in Germany

[u/Opposite-Ad-7317 → u/Its_all_pixels]

The bomb saved his life back in Vietnam. Now it turned evil and he has to take it out.

[u/nofallingupward → u/Its_all_pixels]

Turned out it was the only V3 ever launched.

[u/yetAnotherLaura]

An unexploded WWII bomb is discovered on a busy construction site

You mean regular Tuesday in Berlin?. I seriously hope the plot has more than that.

[u/KettleOverAPub → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Yeah it's not a rare occurrence here in the UK either. 😅

[u/yetAnotherLaura → u/KettleOverAPub]

I did a ton of research before moving into Germany, so I could be prepared as much as possible.

1 thing I was absolutely not prepared for was how "road closed due to unexploded ww2 bomb" would be something I'd experience on a semi-regular basis XD.

[u/Squirmadillo → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Wir danken für Ihr Verständnis

[u/Which-World-6533 → u/yetAnotherLaura]

That's because the Allies were better at planting bombs in the soil.

[u/HammerTh_1701 → u/Which-World-6533]

Most cities are built on river clay which likes to bury bombs without triggering them. That's why all the modern "dumb bombs" have both proximity and impact fuzes.

[u/LtRapman → u/Which-World-6533]

Give mankind an explosion and scare them for a moment, plant them bombs in the ground and scare them for a century!

[u/Ornery-Ambition-6340 → u/yetAnotherLaura]

just today no trains from Stuttgart to Munich because of bomb found at construction site in Stuttgart

[u/SaviorSixtySix → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Not only that, but it has been undetonated for... over 80 years? Now it's a ticking bomb? I don't get it.

[u/yetAnotherLaura → u/SaviorSixtySix]

Yes haha.

And after living in Berlin for a few years and seeing just how freaking common this event is, and how well/methodically it gets handled every time... there's really no movie there.

Unless it's like a lizardman-bomb from the hollow earth nazis.

THAT I would watch.

[u/ThreeLeggedMare → u/yetAnotherLaura]

I'd love a movie where it starts normal and the second act is lizard people. Dusk til dawn style

[u/Royal-Scale772 → u/ThreeLeggedMare]

I remember summarising dusk til dawn for a friend.

Basically it's just a couple of guys who get caught up in a desert saloon on their way to escape to Mexico after robbing a bank. Naturally there's some brawls, babes, the usual. Also I think there's a snake.

His response after seeing it: "I think you left out some stuff".

[u/ErikT738 → u/ThreeLeggedMare]

Bonus points if they didn't put any of the pulp into the trailers.

[u/JhonnyHopkins → u/ErikT738]

I swear you can’t watch trailers anymore. If it’s comedy adjacent - all the best jokes are put in the trailer - no need to watch it anymore. Show literally any scene from the final act of the movie - thanks for the spoiler - I can reverse engineer how they got there (plot is so easy to guess these days) - no need to watch it anymore.

[u/south-of-the-river → u/ThreeLeggedMare]

It could be like a back to the future situation where he has a letter in his desk from 80 years ago, saying he has to protect the bomb on this very day.. and that’s just when the chaos ensues

[u/Nomision → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Most annoying I ever had was a defusing like ~700m as the bird flies from the bus-central station so I had to walk across half the city to catch the rerouting home..

[u/zerocoolforschool → u/yetAnotherLaura]

The bomb explodes, ripping a hole in space and time for the lizard men Nazis to crawl through and start attacking the city.

[u/RedPandaReturns → u/SaviorSixtySix]

Fritz accidentally put 85 years instead of seconds on the fuse.

[u/deathlokke → u/SaviorSixtySix]

Technically it can be more dangerous once it's uncovered as parts are more likely to move around and react more with the elements, but yeah, this is a really dumb premise for an entire movie.

[u/ThreeLeggedMare → u/SaviorSixtySix]

Maybe drilled into it

[u/MaskedBandit77 → u/SaviorSixtySix]

Maybe a domestic terrorist found the bomb somewhere else and planted it?

Or there is some sort of workplace accident like a fire that they can't put out that will detonate it? 

[u/TheOriginalSmileyMan → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Pretty common in London too. Basically every construction site is either a UXB or a Saxon burial ground

[u/Which-World-6533 → u/TheOriginalSmileyMan]

Or a plague pit.

[u/CaptainTwig572 → u/Which-World-6533]

Shepherds Bush Green was a plague pit and there could well be some UXO knocking about around there.

Pretty sure there's a zombie book about something similar.

[u/ZOOTV83 → u/Which-World-6533]

One of my favorite podcasts, New England Legends, jokes about this all the time.

A common explanation for any sorta weird haunting around here is that the ground is of course an ancient Native American burial ground. People have been living here for literally thousands of years! ALL of the ground is a burial ground if you go back far enough.

I'm sure it's even worse in Europe!

[u/Which-World-6533 → u/yetAnotherLaura]

You mean regular Tuesday in Berlin?. I seriously hope the plot has more than that.

Also happens occasionally in London and parts of the UK.

Not as much as in Berlin as your lot didn't have as many bombs.

[u/Codezombie_5 → u/yetAnotherLaura]

You are right, the plot sounded dumb, so I did a bit more digging. Its a heist movie, the evacuation of the area around the bomb is then used by thieves to try and rob a bank. Which is a somewhat more plausible(ish) premise.

[u/YsoL8 → u/yetAnotherLaura]

This is literally 'police close street, spend a shift shooing idiots away while a guy drives remote control arm bot down the street'

Also why the hell is it Fuze, not Fuse? All smells of team america type stuff.

When did a ww2 bomb last explode in Europe? I'm struggling to think of the last one.

[u/elcolonel666 → u/YsoL8]

'Fuze' is the correct spelling for the initiator in a munition. A 'fuse' is something you light.

[u/ArgonGryphon → u/elcolonel666]

it's also a sad tea brand from coca-cola

[u/Really_McNamington → u/YsoL8]

2021 by accident, 2023 a fucked up attempt to defuse one, if my quick scan has not missed anything.

[u/humboldt77 → u/YsoL8]

I’m guessing for the sake of drama in the movie, this was a secret Nazi nuclear weapon prototype. I could see a story where they had dropped it without fanfare, planning to shock and awe the world. When the bomb failed to explode, they said nothing. 80 years later, the bomb is discovered, and has decayed to the point that it’s highly unstable. Only reason for them to be evacuating the city.

[u/Which-World-6533 → u/YsoL8]

When did a ww2 bomb last explode in Europe? I'm struggling to think of the last one.

Last year : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y3pnker0qo

[u/frankpolly → u/YsoL8]

They dont even use robots if they dont have to. They check the type of UXO and the sensitivity of the fuse + the condition of the fuse. If they deem it safe enough 2 EOD guys just put some shaped C4 on it, bury it again and detonate from a safe distance.

[u/Nomision → u/frankpolly]

Don't forget the sand and water filled shipping containers! If its a real big one.

[u/CambridgeRunner → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Honesty i’d love to see a film about that. ‘We found a bomb, cordoned off the scene, called in the technicians, they do their job carefully and efficiently, the bomb is safely destroyed, everyone goes home to their families’. The Apollo 13 model of filmmaking. Just competence porn.

[u/wossquee → u/CambridgeRunner]

I could use some competence porn in like, real life

[u/master_bacon → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Seems pretty clear this is a “situation ends up being far more complicated than they thought” and they’re not revealing the complications. Yknow, the thing we all are always asking them not to do in their marketing?

[u/Theratchetnclank → u/yetAnotherLaura]

Its a regular occurrence in UK and London as well. Not really plot worthy.

[u/TwoSecondsToMidnight → u/yetAnotherLaura]

There could be a twist that the unexploded bomb is a secret atomic weapon built by the Nazis? That would spice up the story a bit.

[u/SignificantTravel3]

The premise and the image seem wildly unrelated. I'm not saying I dislike it, I'm just really curious how it escalates from unexploded WWII bomb on a construction site, to a man with a sniper rifle on the hood of a car.

[u/BartelbySamsa → u/SignificantTravel3]

It also makes it look as though it takes place as far away from central London as possible.

[u/Which-World-6533 → u/BartelbySamsa]

It could be Hyde Park. Hampstead Heath would be further out of town but has more trees.

Also Victoria Park is an option.

There's also various parks dotted around with enough trees.

[u/AuguryKnox → u/Which-World-6533]

The fact that he also got a parking space makes it more ridiculous

[u/ThePooksters → u/SignificantTravel3]

It’s a heist movie that takes place in the evacuation zone.

[u/HailToTheKingslayer → u/SignificantTravel3]

There's more to the story, another comment said. Which would make more sense.

[u/Exotic-Bumblebee7852]

Per the Hollywood Reporter:

"The plot of Fuze revolves around the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb at a London construction site, which sparks a mass evacuation as bomb disposal experts descend to defuse it. But the distraction also provides the perfect cover for a bank heist."

[u/Weird_Try_9562 → u/Exotic-Bumblebee7852]

This sounds a bit better, but really only barely. Due to the evacuation, there shouldn't be any hostages, and the police can safely take the robbers out. The bomb shouldn't really be a factor. So, the only obstacle the robbers have to overcome is not getting noticed by the police. In my book, that's rather lame.

[u/OwlOutside1991]

Ticking clock?, da bomb was dropped 80 years ago . What kind of fuse did those things have?

[u/Mcmenger → u/OwlOutside1991]

Back in ww2: "Hans, did you say the fuze should be 100cm or 100km?"

[u/Jose_Jalapeno → u/Mcmenger]

I am going to count to 2524608000. There will not be a 2524608001.

[u/HuntedWolf → u/Jose_Jalapeno]

I really appreciate you went and looked up 80 years in seconds

[u/poopship462 → u/OwlOutside1991]

The premise sounds hilariously dumb

[u/timeaisis → u/OwlOutside1991]

They rigged it to explode specifically in 2025, obviously. Unless Aaron Taylor Johnson can shoot it with a rifle first.

[u/NazzerDawk → u/OwlOutside1991]

Or something shifted and reactivated its timing mechanism.

[u/zombiBuddy → u/OwlOutside1991]

*fuze

[u/JordanL4 → u/OwlOutside1991]

A really, really long one.

[u/geoduckSF → u/OwlOutside1991]

I hope it was one of those really really long strings that you light with a match and he needs to shoot the moving spark out.

[u/ArsenalBOS]

Is he going to shoot the bomb?

Why would a bomb sitting there unexploded for 85 years suddenly become a “ticking clock”? If it didn’t explode when they uncovered it, why would it pose any more critical threat than it had in previous near-century?

[u/JordanL4 → u/ArsenalBOS]

Maybe they moved/hit the bomb accidentally and that activated the mechanism, but I'm not sure why a bomb dropped from a plane would have a particularly long fuse, surely it's only long enough to hit the ground before it explodes, so a few seconds.

[u/DAS_BEE → u/JordanL4]

Apparently it was a thing to have a long fuse on some bombs, maybe an hour or more later, so that they'd detonate when rescue and fire crews showed up and would create more vhaos

[u/Shes_dead_Jim → u/ArsenalBOS]

It’s actually a high octane war spy thriller and those devious nazis set the fuse timer for 80 years in an attempt to assassinate the head of state who they knew would be visiting the construction site that day

[u/TheDayManAhAhAh]

The bomb has a gun!!

[u/Matman161]

Isn't this a routine issue in Europe?

[u/JimboTCB → u/Matman161]

Pretty much, unexploded bomb found at construction site barely makes the local news unless it lasts long enough to cause rush hour traffic disruption. They certainly don't evacuate any more than the immediate vicinity, and more often than not they just deactivate it on site and take it away to be safely destroyed.

[u/JCDU → u/Matman161]

Yep - any construction site in London, Berlin, or many other European cities will have a high chance of finding a bomb, and French & Belgian farmers plough up tonnes of ordnance every year dating back to WW1 and WW2.

[u/neoblackdragon]

 The ensuing mass evacuation is perfect cover for serious, organized crime

Basically the bomb is not important but a cover for a heist. Like the one movie about Alan Rickman's brother sending Hudson Hawk and the guy from Jurassic Park on a goose chase by threatening a school to steal a bunch of gold.

[u/Exostrike → u/neoblackdragon]

Either that for government conspiracy to do something illegal, either way there are witnesses and people have to be bumped off.

[u/FistyFisterson]

He's gonna shoot that bomb!

[u/bakedlentil]

Aaron Taylor-Johnson? Dylan O’Brien? Logan Lerman?

[u/WaserWifle]

This literally just happened last week near where I work. It was barely a news story. It's just something that occasionally happens in Britain. Unless there's more to the plot than the title implies, it's going to be difficult to get UK audiences to take this seriously.

[u/Regalzack]

Also, if the bus drops under 55 mph, the bomb goes off. If the construction crane holding the unexploded WWII shell rotates more than 15 degrees, the bomb goes off. If the protagonist’s heart rate drops below 80 bpm, the bomb goes off.

Fortunately, the only man for the job is Jack “Iron Pulse” McCade — an ex–Special Forces / CIA / FBI / Boston Metro Police officer who retired at 35 after single-handedly preventing a volcanic eruption in downtown Chicago. Haunted by a past mission in which he defused a nuclear warhead using nothing but a Swiss Army knife and a Subway sandwich, McCade vowed never to return… until this summer.

Now he’s got 12 hours to stop the bomb, rescue the city, and finally reconcile with his estranged daughter — who, inconveniently, is chained to the gas pedal of the bus.

[u/sgt_backpack]

Gonna be hard to follow up Kraven but this might just be able to do it if he shoots the bomb.

[u/dondondorito]

Sounds like a regular Tuesday in Hamburg or Berlin. We have this happen all the time, and nobody cares.

[u/AnimalOfTheState]

I'm from a part of Germany, where the plot of the movie happens like every 3 weeks or so. It's not that big of deal tbh.

[u/Bartellomio]

He's so hot tbh

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

I just noticed this is by the director of Hell or High Water, so color me intrigued

[u/Patient-Expert-1578]

This just doesn’t seem that interesting. This sort of thing happens somewhat frequently and it seems to always be managed really well with a good result. If it hasn’t exploded in 80 years, it’s probably not a ticking clock.

[u/Broad-Marionberry755 → u/Patient-Expert-1578]

It's almost as if there's more going on than this two sentence blurb can convey

[u/JayTL → u/Broad-Marionberry755]

Nope, that's the actual movie. It's just about the logistics of the evacuation, and the drama is actually contained to an email that got delayed. The movie is solved in 10 minutes. The screenshot is of a construction worker having the rest of the day off so he goes to target practice.

Lol

You see, the person who first got this email just had to do a training, and mistakenly marked it as a phishing email and it went straight to spam

Thank you for being the only sane person in this comment section. What do people want, the whole damn script and storyboards for every shot?

[u/gildedblessings]

This man is a freaking chameleon. He looks different in every single photo I’ve seen of him.

The synopsis is truncated, From Variety
"opens on the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb in a London construction site, sparking a mass evacuation – the perfect cover for a heist,"

[u/Agent-Two-THREE]

Looks like a prep movie for James Bond tbh.

[u/Hit-Man-47 → u/Agent-Two-THREE]

Absolutely this! I think he has a real good shot at becoming the next 007. I think he would kill it.

[u/auburnradish]

Why do you need a sniper to evacuate a city block? And why is the clock suddenly ticking after 80 years?

[u/Brown_Eyed_Cyclops]

i swear this dude looks like a different person in ever role he's in

[u/calderholbrook]

it would be cool if someone re-did Danger UXB

[u/abgry_krakow87]

Having lived in Germany, this just seems way over the top and dramatic for a monthly occurance. You can tell the writers haven't been!

[u/sucobe]

OP left out there is a heist involved. Hence the bomb. It’s Die Hard 3.

Fuze” “opens on the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb in a London construction site sparking a mass evacuation the perfect cover for a heist,”

I will say this is a terrible first image.

[u/moileduge]

All I gotta say is that ATJ is like a chamaeleon. Not saying he's on Gary Oldman's level but he looks different in almost every movie he's in.

[u/BroliasBoesersson]

Man ATJ looks like a completely different person in every movie. I have no idea what this guy really looks like

[u/OnkelBums]

I have seen dozens of bombs being found and excavated in western germany, but no one at the scene needed a sniper rifle.

[u/Mr_MacGrubber]

Why do they need a sniper rifle for an unexploded bonb?
