David Fincher’s icy take on the bestselling novel by Stieg Larsson stars Daniel Craig as investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist. Hired to solve a 40-year-old missing child case, he uncovers a chilling web of family secrets and horrific crimes.
Wealthy businessman Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer) commissions Blomkvist to uncover the truth of what happened to his beloved niece, Harriet, under the guise of writing a biography of the family business and his eccentric relatives.
Taking the opportunity to recover on Vanger’s country estate after losing an expensive and reputation-shredding libel case, Blomkvist at first dismisses Vanger’s concerns that his family is hiding a murderer. But when his own life is threatened, Blomkvist and his “research assistant” AKA dragon-tattooed super-hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) find themselves in a race against time to unmask the killer and find out what happened to Harriet.
