“Charlie Heller (Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge.”
The Amateur is directed by James Hawes, from a screenplay co-written by Ken Nolan and Gary Spinelli. The film is based on the novel of the same by Robert Littell, which was originally published in 1981. The film is produced by Hutch Parker, Dan Wilson, Malek, and Joel B. Michaels, with JJ Hook also attached as an executive producer.
