Teaser for Jessica Chastain's Action Thriller THE 355 Explains the Meaning of the Title
A couple of days ago the first trailer was released for director Simon Kinberg’s international spy action thriller, The 355. The story centers on five rival agents who team up to stop a threat that could cause World War III.
Today we have a new teaser trailer to share with you and it explains the meaning and history of the title. The 355 comes from one of the very first spies in the United States during the American Revolution. The spy was a woman, so Agent 355 has become slang in the CIA for a female spy. Jessica Chastain says in the teaser:
“Remember that story that they told us about in training? About Washington’s first female spy during the Revolution? Agent 355, they called her. Because nobody knew her real name. Well, somebody did. They just didn’t want the world to know it.”
The film has an all-star cast that also includes Diane Kruger, Bingbing Fan, Lupita Nyong’o, and Penélope Cruz. It will also feature MCU star Sebastian Stan and Edgar Ramírez.
The story revolves around a “dream team of formidable female stars coming together in a hard-driving original approach to the globe-trotting espionage genre in The 355.”
“When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, wild card CIA agent Mason ‘Mace’ Brown will need to join forces with rival badass German agent Marie, former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah, and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela on a lethal, breakneck mission to retrieve it, while also staying one-step ahead of a mysterious woman, Lin Mi Sheng, who is tracking their every move.
“As the action rockets around the globe from the cafes of Paris to the markets of Morocco to the wealth and glamour of Shanghai, the quartet of women will forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world—or get them killed.”
The 355 hits theaters on January 15th, 2021.
