Stone Cold Fox is a 2025 American action thriller film directed and co-written by Sophie Tabet.
The film was released on November 7, 2025.
Fox is a young girl growing up with her sister Spooky. Their dad got into an accident and mom was doing alcohol and drugs, hence Fox decides to leave her home. After a while of living on the street, Fox meets a drug dealer Goldie and becomes her partner. One day, while at a bar, Fox apparently sees Spooky dancing and shouts out her name, but is forced to leave the club.
Goldie occasionally bribes a cop, Billy, to conceal her involvement with drugs. One day, while on patrol, Billy stops a car and opens its trunk, seeing it filled with drugs. He shoots the driver dead and steals the drugs. When the other cops question Billy, he claims the driver of the car tried to attack him - the cops find the car trunk to be mostly empty, with only a small amount of cocaine in it.
Billy gives the bag with the stolen drugs to Goldie, who has it buried in a safe place, but Fox takes the bag of drugs thinking it to be cash. Later realizing that the bag contains drugs, she stashes it in a locker. Goldie doesn't see Fox at their hideout, and checks on the buried bag, only to find it missing. She contacts Billy, who puts out a missing person report on Fox.
Fox appears to see Spooky being kidnapped in a van and tries to follow her, but is hit by another car. She wakes up in the home of Lebanese immigrants Frankie and Dylan, and reveals to them that she has to save her sister. Frankie shows Fox her collection of weapons, including Nunchaku and Shuriken, and they all decide to raid Goldie's hideout to rescue Spooky.
Lady police officer Corbett investigates the report of a woman hit by a car, which eventually leads her to Frankie. At the police station, Corbett sees a locked drawer and upon opening it, finds a file folder filled with information on several missing girls, including Fox. Billy sees the empty drawer and understands that Corbett has in her possession the file on the missing girls. Goldie breaks up with Billy since she has no further use for him.
Fox, Frankie and Dylan sneak up to Goldie's hideout to free Spooky. While Dylan is talking to the guards, Fox and Frankie attempt to leave with the girls. A fight ensues, and Goldie holds a gun to a girl's head while Fox calls her "Spooky". Goldie then reminds Fox that the day Fox left her home, Spooky had fallen in the bathroom of their home and hit her head, instantly killing her. Over the course of time, Fox had repressed the memory and falsely imagined that Spooky was still alive. Fox then overpowers Goldie and kills her, but Billy arrives and grabs the key to the locker from Fox. Corbett too turns up on the scene, arresting Billy and handing Fox the key to the locker.
Six months later, a new bar and ice-skating rink called "Spooky's" opens up, with Fox as its manager. [2]
