Story Overview

Atomic Blonde centers on Lorraine Broughton, one of the most skilled agents of the British intelligence service MI6. In the final days of the Cold War, she is sent alone to Berlin on a highly dangerous mission that could alter the balance of power between East and West. Upon arrival, Lorraine makes contact with the unpredictable local operative David Percival (James McAvoy), who has been assigned to assist her. Yet in a city defined by paranoia, double agents, and shifting loyalties, trust is a rare commodity. As alliances crumble and violence escalates, Lorraine must rely solely on her instincts, resilience, and combat expertise to survive a web of betrayals and complete her mission.

Atomic Blonde is adapted from the 2012 graphic novel The Coldest City, written by Antony Johnston and illustrated by Sam Hart. Blending sleek visual style with brutal action, the film reimagines the espionage thriller through a raw and subjective lens, capturing the moral ambiguity and relentless tension of a world on the brink of political transformation.
