The first official trailer for THE AMATEUR has arrived, showcasing Rami Malek in an intense, globe-trotting thriller that blends espionage, revenge, and high-stakes action. Directed by James Hawes, the film follows a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder whose quiet life is shattered after a devastating terrorist attack.
Plot Overview: A Coder Turned Assassin
Malek stars as Charlie Heller, a gifted but reclusive CIA codebreaker working from a basement office in Langley. When his wife is tragically killed in a London terrorist bombing, Charlie expects the agency to take swift action. But when his superiors refuse to intervene, he takes justice into his own hands, using his intelligence expertise to track down those responsible. As he embarks on a dangerous mission across the globe, Charlie quickly transforms from an overlooked analyst into a formidable force—one whose greatest weapon isn’t brute strength, but his mind.
