Meet the new members of Section 20 when the action-packed Cinemax® hit, Strike Back: The Complete Fifth Season, comes to Blu-ray™ and DVD on August 14th, and Digital Download May 7th. Built with the same high-intensity as past seasons, "...Strike Back makes its triumphant return..." (TV Guide), with a new, fierce group of male and female soldiers, including Sergeant Thomas 'Mac' McAllister (Warren Brown, "The Dark Knight Rises"), Sergeant Samuel Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson, "Infini"), Lance Corporal Gracie Novan (Alin Sumarwatta, "Burning Man") and Captain Natalie Reynolds (Roxanne McKee, HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Crossfire"), to help track down a notorious terrorist after a brutal prison break.

When fanatical terrorist Omair Idrisi escapes from Syrian authorities with plans to launch an unprecedented attack that could change the face of modern warfare, the ensuing manhunt can only be entrusted to counterterrorism's best and brightest. Enter Section 20 - the elite, multinational, covert special ops team tasked with tracking down Idrisi and his British co-conspirator wife, Jane Lowry.

Their action-packed manhunt will take the unit across North Africa, the Middle East and Europe, from glitterati soirees to underworld cage fights, as they uncover and attempt to dismantle a vast global web of interconnected criminal and terrorist activity.

MJ Bassett returns in Strike Back: The Complete Fifth Season as executive producer and director.
