Mamoudou Athie talks new thriller ‘Wardriver’ and ‘Black Box’ Memories with Phylicia Rashad
In this interview, Mamoudou Athie sits down to talk about his latest film ‘Wardriver’ and what drew him to this unique and compelling project. He shares insight into his character, using his martial arts background during filming, and what audiences can expect from this gripping story.
In the film, Dane Dehaan is brilliant as Cole, a hacker that prowls at night to rob digital currency from large banks and corporations. The story is a gripping one as Cole finds himself exposed at times and at the mercy of Oscar (Mamoudou Athie) who seizes the opportunity to use Cole for a quick score. His target – a young woman named Sarah, who seems to have it all at first glance, but is she deserving of this theft? Are there unseen repercussions?
Mamoudou also reflects on his past work, including his experience starring alongside Phylicia Rashad in ‘Black Box’. He discusses what he learned from working with such a legendary actress and how that collaboration helped shape his growth as a performer.
From behind-the-scenes stories to thoughtful reflections on his craft, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Synopsis: Cole (Dane DeHaan) prowls a sprawling city, “Wardriving”—hacking wireless networks from his car and pulling off daring, high-tech robberies while always on the move. He tells himself no one gets hurt, hitting only businesses big enough to cover the loss, but that illusion shatters when black-market tech predator Oscar (Mamoudou Athie) locks onto his talents. Dragged into a million-dollar cyber-heist, Cole finds himself targeting Sarah(Sasha Calle), a woman whose stolen fortune makes her a pawn in a deadly game. The deeper he’s pulled, the more violent the fallout—explosive showdowns and a mob-connected lawyer (Jeffrey Donovan) who will kill to protect his empire. As Cole falls for Sarah, every choice pushes him closer to betrayal and violence. Determined to return the money and protect her, he hurtles into a fight for survival—wired into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, where every line of code could be his last.
