When his mentor is kidnapped by a disgraced Arab sheikh, a killer-for-hire is forced to act. His aim is to assassinate three members of Britain’s elite Special Air Service who are responsible for his boys’ deaths.
Loosely-based on a true story, Killer Elite pits two of the world’s most elite operatives–Danny, a ruthless killer-for-hire (Jason Statham); and Hunter, his longtime mentor (Robert De Niro)–against the cunning leader of a secret society of former Special Air Service operatives(Clive Owen). Covering the globe from Australia to Paris, London, and the Middle East, Danny and Hunter are plunged into a highly-dangerous game of revenge and deception–where things are not always what they appear to be.
