Netflix dropped the trailer of its much awaited action thriller Extraction recently and Twitter reciprocated with memes about the lockdown. We'll break it down for you here. Extraction stars Chris Hemsworth as a black-market mercenary Tyler Rake, who is assigned the task to bring back home an imprisoned crime lord's son Ovi, played by Rudraksh Jaiswal, who has been kidnapped. While Tyler Rake succeeds at his rescue mission, he faces a number of life-threatening ordeals on his way back to home ground. In one scene, while Tyler Rake is driving around Ovi, he says: Worldwide, countries are on a lockdown mode amid the coronavirus outbreak. India is currently in its final week of a 21-day lockdown.
