‘The Foreigner’ is an action thriller film directed by Martin Campbell and written by David Marconi. The British-Chinese co-production stars Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Charlie Murphy, Michael McElhatton, Orla Brady, Liu Tao and Katie Leung.

Jackie Chan goes up against Pierce Brosnan and the IRA in an old-fashioned suspense movie from the director of ‘Casino Royale’, ‘Golden Eye’ and ‘Edge of Darkness’.

It’s a story of humble London businessman Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fuelled vendetta when the only person left for him to love – his teenage daughter -- is taken from him in a senseless act of politically-motivated terrorism. In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.
