Wanted Movie Synopsis:
Based upon Mark Millar’s explosive graphic novel series and helmed
by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov —creator of the
most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch
series—Wanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobody’s
transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008,
the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley
Gibson.
25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected,
cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him
out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life
plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged
slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do
but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut.
Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).
After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits
Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge
his dad’s death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him
how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes
discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out
the death orders given by fate itself.
With wickedly brilliant tutors—including the Fraternity’s enigmatic
leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)—Wes grows to enjoy all the strength
he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to
his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers
between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what
no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.
