Plot Synopsis

Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) is a teenage girl living in isolation in the Finnish forest with her father, Erik (Eric Bana). From an early age, she has been trained in combat, survival skills, and languages, all under the watchful eye of her father, who has a mysterious past tied to a covert CIA operation. Erik’s goal has been to prepare Hanna for a dangerous world, though he is secretive about the reasons for her intense training.

One day, Hanna is told to make contact with the outside world by activating a signal that will bring a team to pick her up. However, this action triggers a deadly pursuit by CIA agents, led by the ruthless Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), who has a personal connection to Hanna’s past. Hanna goes on the run, encountering different people along the way, including a family that offers her temporary refuge.

As Hanna journeys across Europe, she begins to uncover the secrets of her past, learning that she is the product of a secret government project aimed at creating genetically modified soldiers. The closer she gets to the truth about her origins, the more dangerous the stakes become, as Marissa and her team track her down, determined to eliminate her for good.

The film culminates in a tense showdown, where Hanna must confront the shadowy forces that created her and determine her own path, away from the violent destiny that has been imposed on her.
