Per the film’s official synopsis, “When the CIA discovers one of its agents leaked information that cost more than 100 people their lives, veteran operative Henry Pelham (Chris Pine) is assigned to root out the mole from among his former officemates at the agency’s Vienna station. His investigation takes him from Austria to England to California, where he is reunited with his one-time colleague and ex-lover Celia Harrison (Thandiwe Newton). The pair are forced to blur the lines between profession and passion in this riveting tale of global espionage, moral ambiguity, and deadly betrayal.” Directed by acclaimed Danish director Janus Metz and written by Olen Steinhauer, the film also stars Laurence Fishburne and Jonathan Pryce.
When the film was first announced in 2017, Chris Pine was attached to star with Michelle Williams. James Marsh was also set to direct but by 2020, Williams and Marsh departed the project and Thandiwe Newton was cast to replace Williams while Januz Metz stepped in as director. Filming took place in London beginning in December 2020 and principal photography wrapped in London in February 2021 with the film fully finishing shooting after moving to California in March 2021.
