Directed by Simon Kinberg, The 355 follows a dream team of formidable female stars come together in a hard-driving original approach to the globe-trotting espionage genre.
A top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands. We meet wild card CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown, played by Jessica Chastain, who will need to join forces with rival badass German agent Marie, played by Diane Kruger. Along comes former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah, played by Lupita Nyong’o, and skilled Colombian mind-bender Graciela, Penélope Cruz.
They are all on a lethal, breakneck mission to retrieve it while also staying one step ahead of a mysterious woman, Lin Mi Sheng, played by Bingbing Fan, who is tracking their every move.
As the action rockets around the globe from the cafes of Paris to the markets of Morocco to the wealth and glamour of Shanghai, the quartet of women will forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world—or get them killed.
The film also stars Édgar Ramirez and Sebastian Stan.
Kinberg has an impressive list of projects. He was the writer-director-producer of Dark Phoenix, Deadpool, The Martian, and writer-producer of the X-Men films. The script comes from both Theresa Rebeck and Kinberg.
