Bill Nighy and Rachel Weisz head up an outstanding cast â including Judy Davis, Michael Gambon, and Ralph Fiennes â in âPage Eight,â a contemporary spy thriller from David Hare, his first original screenplay in two decades. Johnny Worricker (Nighy) is a long-serving MI5 officer whose life â both personal and professional â has just been turned inside out. When his boss and best friend (Gambon) dies suddenly, Johnny is left on his own to deal with a contentious top secret file that threatens the sanctity and stability of the entire MI5 organization. Further complicating his life is his suspicion that a chance encounter with his beautiful neighbor (Weisz) was, in fact, meticulously orchestrated to serve her own secret agenda. - Baker & Taylor
After his boss dies unexpectedly, an MI-5 officer discovers a mysterious file that could threaten the stability of the organization.
