Gunther Bachmann is a German spy who has been enlisted by both German and American Secret Services to track down a Chechen-Russian immigrant named Issa in Hamburg who claims to be the heir to an enormous fortune in a private bank account. Gunther's colleagues believe Issa is an Islamic terrorist and request that he is rounded up and questioned immediately, however when Gunther discovers a suspicious relationship between him and his lawyer Annabel Richter, he holds back in order to find out what's going on in their heads. When he finds out that an Islamic charity boss is strongly linked to a terrorist organisation, he has to work out if Issa is in on it too - but could he be the biggest victim?

'A Most Wanted Man' has been based on the 2008 novel of the same name by John le Carre. It has been directed by Anton Corbijn ('The American', Arcade Fire's 'Reflektor' video) and written by Andrew Bovell ('Edge of Darkness', 'Lantana', 'Head On'), and it is loosely based on the life of falsely imprisoned German citizen Murat Kurnaz who was detained for 5 years over a baseless accusation that he was an illegal immigrant. The movie is set to hit cinemas in the UK later in 2014.
