Hanna (2011) is a unique action-thriller film directed by Joe Wright, known for his work in period dramas like Pride & Prejudice and Atonement. Hanna marks a departure from his usual genre, blending fast-paced action with a coming-of-age narrative, all wrapped in a mysterious espionage thriller. The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana, and Cate Blanchett in key roles and features a score by The Chemical Brothers, which complements its intense, high-energy atmosphere.

Plot Summary
The film centers on Hanna Heller (played by Saoirse Ronan), a 16-year-old girl raised in the remote wilderness of Finland by her father, Erik (Eric Bana). From an early age, Hanna has been trained by her father to be a highly skilled assassin, capable of surviving in harsh environments, using weapons, and executing covert operations. Her upbringing is both strict and isolated, with her father instilling in her a sense of discipline and self-reliance.

Hanna’s life takes a drastic turn when she tells her father that she is ready to leave the forest and discover the world. However, Erik has been hiding a dark secret: their lives are tied to a secret CIA program, and Hanna’s training is part of an experiment. Before Hanna can leave, Erik activates a signal, which leads the CIA to track them down, and they are forced to go on the run.

The plot follows Hanna as she embarks on a journey across Europe, pursued by agents who are trying to capture her. Along the way, she encounters various people, including Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), a CIA operative with a mysterious connection to Hanna’s past. As Hanna unravels the secrets of her own origins and the purpose of her training, she must decide who to trust and how to survive the deadly forces closing in on her.
