The Cold Light of Day is an action thriller film directed by Mabrouk El Mechri, starring Bruce Willis, Sigourney Weaver, and Henry Cavill. Will Shaw arrives in Spain from San Francisco for a holiday he really doesn't want. He is picked up by his father, Martin, who works in various different countries for the government. In the evening, phone calls put Will in a bad mood and he decides to go fishing the next day. Will is still preoccupied with the phone calls, resulting in an accident which causes his brother's girlfriend to be hit on the side of the head by the sail. Will decides to swim... into town to fetch medicine. When he swims back, the ship has gone and he finds it abandoned. He runs to a local police station where the officer in charge finds out his name and makes a phone call, before asking Will to take him to the ship. They are met there by Zahir, who knows where Will's family is and invites him to show him the way, but Will decides to escape in the police car but doesn't get far. He crashes into a tree and is almost killed until Martin shows up and escapes with him. He reveals he is a CIA agent and that the people who have taken their family are after a briefcase he took.
