Tonight | Firewall on SBS Viceland: Harrison Ford races to save his family – Firewall has its SBS Viceland channel premiere, starring Harrison Ford as bank security expert Jack Stanfield.
What To Expect
Jack specialises in designing theft-proof financial computer systems, but the system has one vulnerability he did not account for: himself.
The thriller’s hook is personal pressure, with a ruthless criminal mastermind played by Paul Bettany kidnapping Jack’s family.
With his wife and children at stake and under constant surveillance, Jack is forced to find a flaw in his own system and steal $100 million.
The film turns cyber-security into a hostage thriller, giving Ford a race-against-time role built around family, surveillance and betrayal.
When To Watch
Firewall arrived during a period when techno-thrillers were turning digital systems into mainstream suspense. The film makes the threat easy to grasp by tying cyber-security directly to family danger.
Harrison Ford’s role draws on the everyman-under-pressure mode that powered several of his thrillers. Jack Stanfield is skilled, cornered and forced to fight through a system he helped create.
On SBS Viceland, Firewall gives viewers a clear instalment built around Harrison Ford races to save his family. The broadcast is Saturday 8 August 2026 at 9.20pm, with streaming available through SBS On Demand.
