Action-thriller. Agent 47 is a nameless assassin belonging to a worldwide elite organisation. After an operation goes wrong, he goes on the run from both the Russian Secret Service and his own organisation, reluctantly allowing Nika Boronina to tag along. Spying on them both is Interpol agent Mike Whittier. The film is adapted from a computer game but rises above a simple shoot-'em-up level thanks to Agent 47's complicated personality and enigmatic nature.
