Write a short summary of what happens in the film

To launch Nike’s new PhantomVSN football boot, we unleashed upon the world a mysterious character called THE PHANTOM - a demonic football freak capable of wreaking havoc on all those who cross its path, creating the ultimate urban football legend. Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman, Kick-Ass, Layer Cake), the two-and-a-half-minute film features famous footballers Neymar Jr, Philippe Coutinho, Kevin De Bruyne and Mal Pugh as well as football icons Ronaldinho, Gennaro Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo. Nigerian rap star WizKid and his posse Legendury Beatz, and Tiwa Savage also make cameos. All who try and figure out who or what is The Phantom.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

While the world was expecting a huge World Cup Campaign from Nike, we held off launching during this cluttered moment and when the dust settled and kids were heading back to football pitches to play, we launched Nike’s new PhantomVSN football boot - a brand new product that we unleashed upon unsuspecting footballers.
