The Passenger

DramaMysteryThriller126 min

While in Chad filming a documentary, disillusioned journalist David Locke finds a dead man in a hotel room and steps into his life. He takes the man’s identity, hoping to leave his own stalled existence behind, but the new passport and itinerary lead him into something far more dangerous. The stranger was an arms dealer tied to rebels in the civil war, and each appointment pulls Locke deeper into a network he does not understand. As he moves across Europe, trailed by suspicion and trying to stay ahead of the people looking for the missing man, he is joined by a young woman. Jack Nicholson anchors Locke’s growing unease as the escape turns into a trap.
