Movie Synopsis
Hanna Heller (Saoirse Ronan) is a 17-year-old girl who lives with her father, Erik Heller (Eric Bana) in the wilderness of Finland. Ever since she was two years old, Hanna has been trained by Erik to become an assassin. As part of her training, she has never come into contact with modern technology and has memorized a series of fake back stories for herself to be used "when the time comes".
One night, Hanna tells Erik that she is "ready", and he gives her a box containing an old transmitter that will alert the outside world to their presence. After analyzing the situation, Hanna flips the switch, sending a signal of her location to Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), a corrupt CIA agent. Wiegler sends a team to Erik's cabin, where Hanna, who had been waiting for them, is captured and taken to a CIA safe house in Morocco. There, she discovers that Erik is a former CIA agent who betrayed the agency and knows a secret that can't become public. Wiegler has been assigned to kill him, but Erik has trained Hanna to kill Wiegler. Knowing that Hanna was captured too easily, Wiegler sends a body double (Michelle Dockery) to speak with Hanna. Hanna kills the double, breaks free and escapes the compound.
While on the run through the desert, Hanna meets Sebastian (Jason Flemyng) and Rachel (Olivia Williams), and befriends their daughter Sophie (Jessica Barden). They decide to help her go to Berlin, after she tells them her fake back story. Meanwhile, Wiegler hires a mercenary called Isaacs (Tom Hollander) to capture Hanna while she goes after Erik, who is in Germany. Later, Isaacs and his men corner Hanna and the family, but she manages to escape after killing one of Isaacs' men. The son of the captured family, who has a crush on Hanna, is tricked into telling Wiegler that Hanna is heading for Berlin.
