Life is a meaningless repetition for Wesley (James McAvoy), a small clerk. Every day, he has to endure the nagging of his obese boss, his best friend going to bed with his girlfriend, and he has to take drugs to control his fast heartbeat. On this day, he was rescued from the pursuit of a crazy gunman by a strange woman and entered the world of the Assassin's League. The savior Fox (Angelina Jolie) and the leader of the League Sloan (Morgan Freeman) told Wesley that his father who abandoned him was also a member of the organization and was recently killed by the traitor Cross. Wesley must grow up in harsh training as soon as possible in order to protect himself and even avenge his father. The Assassin's League originated from the textile guild. They decided to assassinate the target according to the code provided by the textile machine, so as to follow the arrangement of fate. Wesley quickly mastered a series of assassination methods with excellent talent and became a member of the organization. He began to carry out the tasks given by fate and gradually approached the goal of seeking revenge on Cross. Finally, Sloan ordered Wesley to go to Eastern Europe to assassinate Cross, but during this mission, Wesley accidentally discovered the conspiracy within the organization, and this time, he no longer used escape to solve the problem. The film won the 2009 British Empire Film Award for Best Science Fiction Fantasy Film.
