A Most Wanted Man

2014 Thriller

When a half-Chechen, half-Russian immigrant (Dobrygin) turns up in Hamburg in a terrible state, having endured torture and imprisonment in both his native countries, he seeks help from a young human rights attorney (McAdams) to recover his late father’s immense and ill-gotten fortune. Gunter Bachmann (Hoffman), the brilliant head of a covert German spy unit, enlists the attorney, as well as the head of the bank (Dafoe) where the funds are being held, to help him entrap a respected Muslim scholar who is suspected of funding terrorist activity.
