Many of us experience situations where we want our old girlfriend or boyfriend back in our lives. In the film The Union, this actually happens due to a twist of fate. A man’s girlfriend reappears in his life after many years. However, there’s a catch: Mike (played by Mark Wahlberg)’s high school sweetheart, Roxanne (played by Halle Berry), has returned for her own motives. Surprised? That’s exactly the storyline of The Union, which is set to release on Netflix on August 16. Roxanne comes back into Mike’s life to recruit him for a crucial mission for U.S. intelligence. The twist? Mike is just an ordinary construction worker.
The reason he’s chosen for this mission is that the intelligence agency needed someone with no ties to such operations—someone off the radar. Moreover, they needed someone they could trust, and Roxanne knew Mike well, which is why he was selected for this extremely important mission.
