Synopsis

Charlie Heller is an introverted computer genius who works as a code-breaker for the CIA in a basement at their headquarters in Langley. His idyllic life changes completely when his wife is murdered in a terrorist attack in London.

His supervisors refuse to act accordingly due to the potential consequences, so Heller decides to be the one to bring justice. To do so, he embarks on a dangerous journey around the world in search of the culprits and, above all, to avenge his wife's death.

Heller's greatest asset is his intelligence, as it will allow him to progress until he achieves his revenge. Along the way, you will have to face situations that contrast both with your personality and his abilities.

The film directed by James Hawes, 'The Winton Children' (2023) or 'Slow Horses' (2022), stars actor Rami Mallek, winner of the Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Freddy Mercury in 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (2018), but also features other renowned actors such as Rachel Brosnahan, Jon Bernthal, Julianne Nicholson and Laurence Fishburne.
