Pursued across Europe by a team of agents led by Cate Blanchett, Hanna must elude her adversaries and stay on target. But once she learns more about her fateful mission, her entire existence and world view is called into crisis. She’s looking for her mark, but maybe she’ll find, for the first time, her humanity.
