On the eve of the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, agent Broughton is sent alone into Berlin to recover a priceless agent list (a la Mission Impossible’s NOC list) and take down a ruthless espionage ring in the destabilized city.

She partners with a shifty station chief David Percival (James McAvoy), who has access to an East German operative named Spyglass (Eddie Marsan).

Spyglass has committed the entire list to memory and tells agent Broughton that a double agent know as Satchel, may be among them.

Agent Broughton reveals a human side in diametric opposition to her killing machine exterior when she meets French woman Delphine Lasalle (Sofia Boutella), who soon becomes her lover.

Broughton is willing to use all of her lethal skills, with anything handy at time of meeting her foes, to navigate her way through a deadly spy game on an impossible mission.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, director David Leitch said standing orders to the stunt team for the action was to use found objects as props. For example Broughton’s red shoe becomes a lethal weapon in one scene and she defeats Berlin cops with household items in another. Leitch believes this makes fight scenes more powerful.
