Transcript
00:00She was the best performer on stage.
00:03But in a twinkle, her life changed forever.
00:11Power. That's what he wants.
00:14The movie begins with two seemingly unrelated characters.
00:18Dominica Egarova, a prima ballerina, is enjoying a moment of peace,
00:23listening to music through her headphones.
00:25Simultaneously, Nate Nash, a CIA operative,
00:28receives a cryptic phone call.
00:30As Nate deciphers the coded message,
00:33Dominica prepares for a performance that will change her life forever.
00:37After taking her ailing mother to the hospital,
00:39Dominica heads to the theater,
00:41unaware that her life is about to take a dark turn.
00:44On stage, Dominica delivers a breathtaking performance,
00:48captivating the audience,
00:49including a wealthy man named Dmitry Ustinov,
00:52introduced to her by her uncle Vanya,
00:55a high-ranking officer in Russian intelligence.
00:57Meanwhile, Nate is involved in a tense exchange
01:00with a mysterious individual in the streets of Moscow.
01:04As the deal goes down,
01:05a sudden police presence forces Nate to create a distraction,
01:09allowing his contact to escape.
01:11Nate barely makes it back to the American embassy,
01:13his cover blown,
01:15and his superiors furious.
01:17Back at the theater,
01:18Dominica's dream shatters
01:19as a fellow dancer deliberately injures her,
01:22ending her ballet career.
01:23With her future in ruins,
01:25Dominica is left devastated in the hospital.
01:28Months later,
01:29she learns from her uncle that her benefits,
01:31including her mother's medical care,
01:33are being cut off.
01:35Desperate,
01:36Dominica confronts her former dance partner
01:38and his new lover,
01:39unleashing her fury on them
01:40before guilt leads her to call for help,
01:43saving their lives.
01:44With no options left,
01:46Dominica turns to her uncle Vanya for help.
01:48He offers her a way out,
01:50but it comes at a price.
01:52Vanya proposes that Dominica seduce Dmitri Ustinov,
01:55a powerful man with dangerous ties.
01:58Reluctantly,
01:59Dominica agrees and meets Dmitri in a hotel,
02:01where things quickly spiral out of control.
02:04Dmitri tries to force himself on Dominica,
02:06but before things get worse,
02:08a masked man appears and kills Dmitri.
02:11The masked man is also a Russian operative named Maturin.
02:14After he secured Dominica,
02:16Vanya informs her that she now faces two choices,
02:19death or enrollment in a brutal training program
02:21for Russia's elite spies,
02:23known as Sparrows.
02:25Dominica,
02:25with no other choice,
02:27agrees to join the Sparrow School,
02:29a place where manipulation,
02:30seduction,
02:31and psychological warfare
02:32are the tools of the trade.
02:34Before she leaves,
02:35her mother warns her to be wary of Vanya,
02:38who has always harbored unsettling feelings for her.
02:41Dominica's life at the Sparrow School is grueling.
02:44The matron,
02:44the woman in charge,
02:46makes it clear that Dominica is expected
02:48to use her body and mind as weapons.
02:50Despite having no military background,
02:53Dominica excels,
02:54proving to be a quick learner
02:55and a formidable opponent.
02:57Her training is ruthless,
02:59designed to strip away her humanity
03:00and turn her into a cold, calculating spy.
03:03Meanwhile,
03:04in the United States,
03:05Nate is dealing with the fallout
03:07from his previous mission.
03:09His superiors suspend him indefinitely,
03:11but he argues that his asset,
03:13a high-level Russian informant,
03:14will only trust him.
03:16Nate is soon deployed to Hungary,
03:17where he attempts to re-establish contact
03:20with his assets.
03:21Back in Russia,
03:22Dominica faces her first real test.
03:25A male cadet attempts to assault her,
03:27but Dominica turns the table,
03:29using her environment to defend herself.
03:31The matron plans to humiliate her in front of others
03:34when she asks Dominica to strip off her clothes
03:36and allow the male cadet to do whatever he wants with her.
03:39However,
03:41Dominica turned the table,
03:42taking control of the cadet's dominating exposure.
03:45At the end,
03:46she proved that he only wanted power over her
03:48when he couldn't perform any action with her.
03:51This incident catches the attention of General Korchnoi,
03:54who sees potential in Dominica.
03:56She is soon given her first mission,
03:58to travel to Budapest,
04:00get close to Nate,
04:01and uncover the identity of the mole
04:02within the Russian intelligence.
04:04Now in Budapest,
04:06Dominica moves into an apartment
04:07with another sparrow, Marta,
04:09who warns her that the only way to survive
04:11is to find leverage over those controlling her.
04:14Dominica wastes no time
04:15and begins shadowing Nate,
04:17registering at the pool where he swims.
04:20Their first encounter is tense,
04:22with Nate quickly realizing that Dominica
04:23is not who she appears to be.
04:26However, despite the clear danger,
04:28Nate is intrigued by her.
04:30As Dominica and Nate engage
04:31in a dangerous game of cat and mouse,
04:33she begins to manipulate those around her,
04:35including her superior, Volontov.
04:38When Volontov attempts to pressure Dominica
04:40into sleeping with him,
04:42she cleverly uses the situation to blackmail him,
04:45ensuring that he reports favorably on her progress.
04:48Despite her manipulations,
04:50Dominica finds herself drawn to Nate.
04:52Their interactions grow more intimate,
04:55but trust is a rare commodity in their world.
04:58Nate, sensing Dominica's vulnerability,
05:00suggests that she defect and work for the CIA.
05:02Dominica, torn between her duty
05:05and her growing feelings for Nate,
05:07agrees to take a lie detector test for the CIA,
05:10which she passes with flying colors.
05:12As tensions rise,
05:14Dominica informs the CIA
05:15that she has set up a meeting with Boucher,
05:18a U.S. chief of staff
05:19willing to sell nuclear launch codes to Russia.
05:22The meeting is a ruse,
05:24with Dominica swapping the real codes
05:25for fake ones supplied by the CIA.
05:28After the exchange,
05:29Boucher realizes she has been set up,
05:31but it's too late.
05:32She is killed in a traffic accident
05:34while trying to escape.
05:36The Russians,
05:37now aware of the double cross,
05:38summon Dominica and Volontov back to Moscow.
05:41Nate tries to rescue Dominica before she leaves,
05:44but she insists on returning,
05:46knowing that fleeing would only confirm her betrayal.
05:49In Moscow,
05:50Dominica and Volontov are tortured for information.
05:53Volontov is killed,
05:54but Dominica manages to convince her superiors
05:56that she is still loyal.
05:58With her life hanging by a thread,
06:00Dominica asks to return to Nate,
06:02arguing that she is now more valuable to Russia
06:05as a double agent.
06:06Back in Budapest,
06:07Dominica and Nate's relationship deepens,
06:10but their time together is cut short
06:11when Matrin,
06:12the Russian operative who killed Dmitry,
06:14shows up.
06:15A brutal fight ensues,
06:17with Dominica and Nate barely surviving.
06:19In a final act of defiance,
06:21Dominica kills Matrin
06:22and calls the American embassy for help.
06:25As Dominica recovers in the hospital,
06:27General Korchnoi visits her,
06:29revealing himself as the mole Nate has been protecting.
06:32Korchnoi,
06:33disillusioned with the corruption in Russia,
06:35offers Dominica a choice.
06:37Betray him and return to her old life
06:39or continue her work with the Americans.
06:42Dominica,
06:42seeing an opportunity,
06:44decides to turn the tables.
06:46The Russians agreed on a deal with Americans
06:48to exchange Dominica for the mole.
06:50In a stunning twist,
06:51Dominica frames her uncle Vanya as the mole,
06:53using the evidence she has been quietly gathering.
06:57Vanya is taken out at the airport by the Russians
06:59because they couldn't bear seeing him with the Americans.
07:03Dominica is hailed as a hero in Russia
07:04for exposing the mole.
07:06However,
07:07the final scenes reveal that Dominica
07:09has successfully infiltrated
07:10the highest levels of Russian intelligence,
07:13becoming a CIA informant.
