"Hanna" is an action adventure thriller film directed by Joe Wright. It tells the story of Hanna Heller, a 15-year-old girl who lives with her father, Erik Heller in rural northern Finland. Since the age of two, he has trained her to be a skilled assassin. Erik teaches her hand-to-hand combat and drills her in target shooting. Hanna reads a bloodstained Grimms' Fairy Tales book frequently, has a great deal of encyclopedic knowledge, and is fluent in several languages. Due to her training away from civilization, she has never come into contact with modern technology or culture. As for Erik, he's an ex-CIA operative from Germany. He left the agency, going incognito into the Arctic. Erik knows a secret that cannot become public, and is being sought after by Marissa Wiegler, a senior CIA officer, who wants to eliminate him. So Erik has trained Hanna with the intent that she will kill Marissa. And one night, Hanna tells Erik that she is "ready".
