Summaries

Plot Summary

Hitman: Agent 47 is a 2015 American action thriller directed by Aleksander Bach from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof, Michael Finch, and David Leitch, based on the popular video game franchise Hitman. The film stars Rupert Friend as the enigmatic assassin Agent 47, with Hannah Ware as Katia van Dees, Zachary Quinto as John Smith (a corporate antagonist), Ciarán Hinds, Stefan Kapičić, and Dan Bakkedahl in key supporting roles. The story follows Agent 47, a cold, precise killer engineered to be the ultimate assassin, as he is pulled out of the shadows to protect Katia, a woman whose genetic code may hold the key to unlocking his own mysterious past and that of an elite corps of assassins. Pursued by a powerful corporation and its operatives, Agent 47 navigates explosive confrontations and slick global set pieces from Singapore to Europe as he fights to keep Katia alive and uncover hidden truths. Produced by 20th Century Fox, the film leans heavily into stylized action, parkour-infused chases, and the cool precision that defines the Hitman world, blending video game aesthetics with grounded combat choreography. The film premiered on August 20, 2015, and opened widely in the United States on August 21, 2015.
