Cynthia Rothrock Returns – Martial Arts Icon Teams with Tatiana Neva in Retro-Thriller ‘Prey of Wrath’

Action fans looking for a throwback to the glory days of VHS-era mayhem have a new title to keep on their radar. Prey of Wrath, the upcoming retro-inspired action thriller from ITN Studios, pairs rising star Tatiana Neva with martial arts legend Cynthia Rothrock for a high-octane showdown packed with nuclear threats, rogue soldiers, and explosive combat.

Directed by Benny Tjandra and Doug Tochioka, Prey of Wrath follows an elite special task force agent played by Neva, a deadly operative created through a secret military program who is sent to stop deserters that have stolen nuclear warheads. Her mission soon collides with an uncompromising FBI Director portrayed by Rothrock, forcing the two warriors into an uneasy alliance as they race to prevent global catastrophe. The film was executive produced by Alexander Nevsky, whose recent action projects are said to have helped revive old-school action cinema for modern audiences.

The newly released trailer leans heavily into classic Blockbuster Video energy, delivering rapid-fire gunplay, brutal martial arts exchanges, and the kind of over-the-top action fans of 80s and 90s thrillers crave. Neva looks poised for a breakout in indie action cinema, while Rothrock’s presence adds instant credibility for longtime martial arts movie fans. Together, the duo gives Prey of Wrath the feel of a modern cult action movie in the making.

With its mix of budget friendly explosive stunts, retro action vibes, and a ticking nuclear threat, Prey of Wrath could be one of the most surprising indie action releases of 2026. Fans of classic Cannon Films-style thrillers and hard-hitting martial arts action should definitely keep this one locked on their radar.
