The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first film in Columbia Pictures'
three-picture adaptation of Stieg Larsson's literary blockbuster The Millennium
Trilogy. Directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara,
the film is based on the first novel in the trilogy, which altogether have sold
50 million copies in 46 countries and become a worldwide phenomenon.
Mikael
Blomkvist is a financial reporter determined to restore his honor after being
convicted of libel. Engaged by one of Sweden's wealthiest industrialists,
Henrik Vanger, to get to the bottom of the long-ago disappearance of his
beloved niece, Harriet -- murdered, Vanger believes, by a member of his large
family -- the journalist heads to a remote island on the frozen Swedish coast,
unaware of what awaits him.
Lisbeth
Salander, an unusual but ingenious investigator with Milton Security, is hired
to do a background check on Blomkvist, a job that ultimately leads to her
joining Mikael in his investigation of who killed Harriet Vanger. Though
Lisbeth shields herself from a world that has repeatedly betrayed her, her
hacking skills and single-minded focus become invaluable. While Mikael goes
face-to-face with the tight-lipped Vangers, Lisbeth plies the wired shadows.
They begin to trace a chain of homicides from the past into the present,
forging a fragile strand of trust even as they are pulled into the most savage
currents of modern crime.
