The Gardener (2025) is a thrilling action-comedy film marking the powerful return of martial arts legend Jean-Claude Van Damme as Léo — a seemingly ordinary gardener with a mysterious past and extraordinary combat skills.

When Serge Shuster — a close advisor to the French President — suddenly discovers his name on a top-secret government kill list, he and his family are thrust into immediate danger. With no one left to trust, their only hope lies in the hands of a quiet man tending to the estate’s garden — who turns out to be a retired assassin.

A pulse-pounding chase across Paris begins, as Léo faces off against professional killers, mercenaries, and hidden political forces. With the line between government loyalty and betrayal growing ever thinner, Léo must confront his past and unleash everything he has to protect the family he once merely observed from the shadows.

Featuring intense action sequences, creative fight choreography using gardening tools as weapons, and a touch of French humor, The Gardener promises a gripping and entertaining ride for action movie fans. The film is scheduled to be released in the U.S. in June 2025.
