Plot:
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.
