Allied

[projekktor id=’26165′]

Allied is a World War II romantic drama directed by Robert Zemeckis (The Walk, Forrest Gump). It stars Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard, Jared Harris, Lizzy Caplan, and Matthew Goode.

For secret World War II operatives Max Vatan (Pitt) and Marianne Beauséjour (Cotillard), the key to survival is never being truly known by anyone. They are experts in deception, play-acting, second-guessing and assassination. When they accidentally fall for each other in the middle of an extraordinarily risky mission, their one hope is to leave all the double-dealing behind – but instead, suspicion and danger become the core of their wartime marriage as husband-and-wife are pitted against each other in an escalating, potentially lethal test of loyalty, identity and love…with global consequences.

“Allied is absolutely a story of betrayal and that’s the universal theme of this film: how we react when we start to think someone we love isn’t who they say they are,” Zemeckis says. “It’s something that happens in life, but in the realm of Max and Marianne, you have two people already pretending to be someone else from the get-go and the truth is elusive to them. So how do you establish trust? And how can you even talk to your loved one if you believe the enemy is listening in on you?”

Allied is rated 14A.
