Eddie Deacon is a former Marine captain who cannot find work or live with his wife and daughter. He takes a low-paid night job at a worn-down mall in an eastern American city. On his first shift, a young girl who must speak in court runs inside after armed killers attack the federal officers driving her. Eddie leads four mall guards through a dark and violent attack while the killers cut off outside help.
The guard team has a visible mix of men and women from different backgrounds. Ruby is a tough female guard, and Johnny is an Asian guard who helps build the traps. These roles support Eddie, but Eddie remains the skilled leader and main hero. The main story is about duty, courage, fatherhood, and keeping a promise to protect a child.

Breakdown
These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for Security.
Woke representation / casting
Spanish actor Antonio Banderas leads a team that includes a female guard, an Asian guard, and two white male guards. A black woman also handles Eddie's job placement. This mix gives the small cast a mild one-of-each look. The story does not turn their identities into a message, and Eddie remains the clear leader and hero.
24%
Woke political dialogue
Not present. The dialogue stays focused on Eddie's job, his family, combat plans, and the attack. The characters do not discuss modern political or activist causes.
0%
Identity-driven story themes
Not present. Jamie and Ruby are brave, but the story does not make their sex part of a social message. Race, sex, and sexuality do not drive the plot.
0%
