Short description

The 355 follows a group of intelligence agents from different countries who are forced to work together when a highly advanced weapon falls into the wrong hands. A CIA officer, an MI6 computer specialist, a Colombian psychologist, a German operative and a Chinese agent each bring their own skills and loyalties to the mission, but their rivalries and divided national interests complicate every step. Their search takes them across several continents and puts them at odds with a mysterious woman who seems to be tracking their movements.

Simon Kinberg directed and co-wrote the film with Theresa Rebeck, and it is his third feature as director, after Fantastic Four and Dark Phoenix. Jessica Chastain, who also produced alongside Kinberg and Kelly Carmichael, leads a cast that includes Lupita Nyong'o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Fan Bingbing and Sebastian Stan, with 65 credited cast members and 380 credited crew. The production was mounted on a budget of 75 million dollars and returned 56 million worldwide.

Audience response has been modest: on IMDb it holds 5.6 out of 10 from 43,000 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 6 out of 10 from a much smaller base of 1,178 votes. A film critics' rating of 4.5 out of 10 from 229 reviews places it below both of those audience figures. The film runs 122 minutes and was released in January 2022.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Marion Cotillard was originally planned to participate in the project, but due to personal reasons, she was unable to film, and Diane Kruger was cast in her place.
  • During the film's pre-production, the actresses involved had to move around with prop weapons in a makeshift house built from empty cardboard boxes.
  • Initially, the idea was to film a television series. They even shot a pilot episode with a lesser-known Somerset O’Neil in the lead role, but it didn’t go any further. As a result, several minor details were changed in the script (in the pilot episode, the German character was French), and an action film was made instead.
  • 355 is the code name of the first spy during the American Revolution, whose identity remains unknown to this day. For many women who work in the CIA and other similar organizations, the call sign 355 is a universal slang term for a female spy.
