The Amateur (Action, Spy, Thriller)

Twentieth Century Studios’ “The Amateur” debuts on 4K UHD and Blu-ray Tuesday, July 8. The high-stakes spy thriller is also now available to own on Digital.

Charlie Heller (Rami Malek, “Bohemian Rhapsody”) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, Charlie takes matters into his own hands. He embarks on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge.

Audiences can uncover additional intel through bonus features that shed new light on Charlie’s world, including five deleted scenes (“Sarah Wonders How Charlie Can Trust His CIA Bosses,” “Henderson Blasts Heller for Failing a Training Exercise,” “Heller Tracks Gretchen Through Paris,” “A Third Assassin Chases Hellers Through the Hotel Basement” and “Heller Asks Inquiline Some Personal Questions”) and four featurettes. Viewers can join the cast and crew as they reflect on what drew them to the project in “The Team;” explore how the film’s production combined real-world locations with intricate set designs to create a visually stunning and immersive world in “The World;” go behind the scenes as the creative team uncovers how Charlie’s ingenious plan involving the sky pool was conceived, planned and executed in “The Pool;” and listen in as Academy Award-winning composer Volker Bertelmann (“All Quiet on the Western Front”) and director James Hawes (“Black Mirror”) talk about the challenge of creating the score’s various themes to bring emotion and drama to the film in “The Score.”

After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”), these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission.
