“New Century. New Rules.”

When his boss and oldest friend Benedict Baron (Michael Gambon) dies suddenly, MI5 officer Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) is left holding a file nobody can explain, one that threatens the stability of the organisation he has served for years. David Hare, making his first film as director since 1989, keeps it to quiet rooms and careful talk. Johnny is a long-serving man who now has to decide what he is loyal to.
