Set against the turbulent backdrop of post-Cold War global politics, When Justice Burns is more than a film—it is a haunting, high-stakes odyssey where international espionage meets academic brilliance and ancestral secrets. This geopolitical thriller stars legendary actors in a breathtaking performance of wit, courage, and conspiracy.
At its heart is Ethan Jisola, a gifted biotechnologist and son of a forgotten CIA asset, whose classified research becomes the world’s most hunted treasure. As Western intelligence agencies, rogue diplomats, and corporate assassins close in, Ethan and his enigmatic MI6-trained mother must orchestrate a dangerous escape not from a physical prison, but from the tightening grip of global manipulation. Their mission is not only to stay alive but to outmaneuver a secret war of ideologies stretching from the corridors of the White House to the sacred halls of the University of Ibadan.
What unfolds is a meticulous unraveling of loyalty, power, and fractured alliances. Each scene is layered with philosophical undertones, coded histories, and pulse-racing action. From midnight extractions on African borders to covert alliances formed under the guise of academia, When Justice Burns is a masterclass in storytelling where justice isn’t given—it’s taken.
With cinematic intensity and a poetic cadence, the film captures the burning edge between truth and treachery. It is a compelling exploration of legacy, sacrifice, and the moral cost of silence in a world ablaze.
This is not just a film it is a firestorm of intellect and action. This is When Justice Burns.
