Brad Pitt stars as Max Vatan, a daring Canadian intelligence officer who parachutes into Morcocco to rendezvous with beautiful French resistance fighter Marianne Beausejour (Marion Cotillard). Their secretive, undercover mission requires them to pose as a high-society couple, secure an invite to an exclusive soirée and knock off a visiting member of the Nazi top brass. Against all odds it goes off without a hitch, but after falling deeply in love and beginning a new life in Blitz-era London whispers of lies and deceit threaten to tear them apart.
