Gal Gadot has traded in her Wonder Woman cuffs for a pair of spy glasses. The 38-year-old actress stars in a new thriller for Netflix, titled Heart of Stone, where she portrays Rachel Stone, a member of the tech support team at MI6 who tries to stop hackers from stealing a very valuable weapon.

The film, which premiered on August 11, has already moved into the top spot on Netflix's list of most-watched movies, where it is sitting above other dramas like Safe, Fatale and River Wild. Check out the trailer below.

“You know what you signed up for,” one of the leaders of an underground peacekeeping organization, called Charter, says in the trailer. “No friends. No relationships. What we do is too important.”

When Rachel Stone's role in Charter conflicts with her job in MI6, she must try to balance her two lives, while also trying to protect the world. However, things quickly get complicated.

Besides Gadot, Heart of Stone also features Fifty Shades of Grey heartthrob Jamie Dornan, who plays a field agent named Parker.

The two stars lead a stacked cast that includes Alia Bhatt (Student of the Year), Sophie Okonedo (The Secret Life of Bees), Jing Lusi (Crazy Rich Asians), Matthias Schweighöfer (Army of Thieves) and Glenn Close (Hillbilly Elegy).

Heart of Stone was directed by Tom Harper (Wild Rose) and the screenplay was written by Greg Rucka (The Old Guard) and Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures).
