Spoilers ahead

The Tribe traces a ruthless terrorist network stirring conflict across the Gaza Strip and beyond, drawing the attention of global security services. The group funds its operations through arms trading in Europe and drugs trafficking around the world, while a parallel power play unfolds around Lieb Industries, a conglomerate with vast interests in the hydrocarbons sector. Bruce Lieb, Craig Fairbrass, is the billionaire CEO whose name is tainted by an insider-trading controversy: the SEC calls him to account in New York after allegations that he delayed news of a uranium discovery to profit from a stock rebound. The film sets a high-stakes stage as Lieb’s 20-year business anniversary party in Paris becomes a magnet for ambition, intrigue, and danger.
