As we reported last week, Strike Back returns to UK screens this week for season 7 which will be known over here as Silent War. In the US where the season has begun airing on Cinemax they’ve named it Strike Back: Revolution.
When a Russian bomber crashes in the South China Sea, three covert special-ops soldiers of Section 20 – Gracie Novin (Alin Sumarwata), Thomas “Mac” McAllister (Warren Brown) and Samuel Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson) – are reunited and sent on a mission to investigate.
Arriving in Malaysia, they cross paths with Katrina Zarkova (Yasemin Allen), a highly trained rogue Russian operative with questionable loyalties. Under orders from their new commanding officer, Col. Alexander Coltrane (Jamie Bamber), S20 pursues the valuable stolen contents of the downed Russian jet across Southeast Asia.
The official synopsis for Strike Back: Silent War 7×01 reads:
McAllister, Wyatt and Novin return with a new commanding officer, Colonel Alexander Coltrane. Section 20 are called in when a Russian bomber disappears in the South China Sea.
