*Check out the action comedy, in which two world leaders must work together to thwart a global conspiracy, co-starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jack Quaid, and Paddy Considine.*

*Heads of State*, an action comedy about two world leaders who must put aside their differences when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary, is streaming now exclusively on [Prime Video](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/what-you-need-to-know-about-prime-video). 

Despite their not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ “special relationship,” UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only people they can trust: each other. Allied with brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.
