Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the film delivers pulse-pounding action while exploring the psychological toll of life as a spy.

The story centers on Alex Mercer (Oscar Isaac), a seasoned CIA operative known for his unshakable nerves and precision. When a covert operation in Berlin goes catastrophically wrong, Alex uncovers evidence that a mole inside the Agency is feeding secrets to a shadowy international syndicate plotting a global cyberattack.

Forced off the grid and framed as a traitor, Alex must navigate a deadly game of cat and mouse across Europe. He reluctantly teams up with hacker-turned-whistleblower Lena Chen (Gemma Chan), whose knowledge of cyber warfare holds the key to stopping a catastrophe that could cripple entire nations.

“CIA: Secret Agent (2025)” excels in delivering intense action set pieces, from rooftop chases under neon lights to brutal close-quarters combat in cramped subway cars. Bigelow keeps the tension razor-sharp, blending kinetic energy with moments of quiet paranoia as Alex struggles to discern friend from foe.

Yet beneath the explosive spectacle, “CIA: Secret Agent (2025)” delves into themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the personal cost of living a life of secrets. Oscar Isaac brings gravitas and vulnerability to Alex, portraying a man driven to protect the world even as he risks losing his own identity. It’s a gripping modern spy story that leaves audiences breathless — and questioning who they’d trust when the world hangs in the balance.
