The Heart of Stone: plot details
As of this writing, specific plot details are standing kept under wraps. Yet, we have a general idea of what to expect from the story and the aspirations that Netflix owns for the franchise as a whole. The movie reportedly centers on CIA agency Rachel Stone, the titular heart of stone. She is the just one who is standing between her community and losing its most crucial asset.
Gal Gadot and other cast members explain the plot of the movie in a teaser video that Netflix recently published. Although there are few specifics, we witness Rachel Stone as played by Gal Gadot leading a solitary existence and being unable to form any personal connections because of the spy life she has chosen. The teaser alternates between the production process and the result as it brings us inside many stunts and action scenes. Stone participates in all the classic action movie tropes, including brawls, car chases, shootouts, jumping out of planes, and building explosions.
Gadot calls the movie “very epic” and “a super grounded, raw, action thriller” in the teaser. She also says “We were very careful to maintain realism so that viewers could experience the suffering. Rachel Stone is an adrenaline addict. She is conditional on it.” This signifies that Heart of Stone will stress the characters’ society additionally. The fact that Rachel Stone must maintain her existence as a spy suggests that the action scenes will have a deeper meaning for her than mere gratuitous stunts.
