As a daughter completely devoted to her mother with an uncertain future ahead of her, she’s manipulated into becoming a Red Sparrow, a young person trained to use her body and mind as weapons. Dominika emerges from this sadistic training process as the most dangerous Sparrow of them all.

As Joel Edgerton’s voice is heard in the trailer, “they use everything” to execute their mission. Dominika will then encounter a C.I.A. agent, who tries to convince her he’s the only one she can trust as the lives of everyone she cares about fall at risk.

Justin Haythe, the screenwriter on A Cure for Wellness and The Lone Ranger, penned the screenplay for Red Sparrow, which is based on the book by author Jason Matthews. Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeremy Irons also feature in the film.
