Sixteen-year-old Hanna has the makings of a perfect assassin

A teenage girl goes out
into the world for the first
time—and has to battle for
her life—in Columbia
Pictures' adventure thriller
Hanna. Directed by Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice), the film stars
Eric Bana (The Time Traveler's Wife), Cate Blanchett (The Curious Case of
Benjamin Button) and Saoirse Ronan (Atonement).
"In the film, Hanna (Ronan) is 16 years old. She is bright, inquisitive, and a
devoted daughter. Uniquely, she has the strength, the stamina, and the
smarts of a solider; these come from being raised by her widowed father Erik
(Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of North Finland.
"Erik has taught Hanna to hunt, put her through extreme self-defense
workouts, and home-schooled her with only an encyclopedia and a book of
fairy tales. Hanna has been living a life unlike any other teenager; her
upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making
her the perfect assassin.
"But out in the world there is unfinished business for Hanna's family, and it is
with a combination of pride and apprehension that Erik realizes his daughter
can no longer be held back.
"This turning point in Hanna's adolescence is a sharp one; she is separated
from Erik and embarks on the mission that she was always destined for.
"Opening soon across the Philippines, Hanna is distributed by Columbia
Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
