What to Expect from Prime Video’s Heads of State
To say that the UK Prime Minister, Sam Clarke, doesn’t like the U.S. President, Will Derringer, would be putting it mildly. Everyone knows they don’t get along, but on Heads of State, they’ll have no choice but to work together.
Their plane is attacked mid-air, with Sam and Will barely surviving the explosion. Considering the magnitude of this breach of security, neither is sure who they can trust.
Luckily for them, an MI6 agent, Noel, comes to their rescue. It’s her mission to get those two somewhere safe, and with her, Sam and Will might actually survive.

Heads of State Description
In the action-comedy Heads of State, the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ “special relationship.” But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary—who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces—they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other. Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.
