Inspired by the true story of Krystyna Skarbek (Morgane Polanski) , the Polish-born spy who acted as the first British SOE female agent to serve in the field during WWII and follows her journey as finds herself navigating a murky world of double agents, shifting allegiances, and high-stakes misinformation while risking her life to feed the Germans a lie that could change the course of history.
Featuring alongside Morgane Polanski in the cast are Malcolm McDowell, Steve Waddington, Ingvar Sigurdsson, Frederick Schmidt, Grégoire Colin, Piotr Adamczyk, and Agata Kulesza. Watch the trailer below…
Budapest, 1939. Krystyna Skarbek – a fearless and headstrong woman – persuades a shadowy British agent, known only as Trenchcoat, to send her into Nazi-occupied Poland, where she must gather intel. But she has her own reasons to go there… her mother’s life is in danger.
When Krystyna’s mission doesn’t go to plan, she narrowly escapes but suffers a huge personal loss and vows to make her life count.
Four years later, hardened by the horrors of war and having proven herself, the resolute spy is parachuted into southern France, where she must assess the fragmented French Resistance and greenlight a major British weapons drop.
Going undercover as a schoolteacher, Krystyna infiltrates a network on the edge of collapse. When betrayal surfaces and the resistance is nearly destroyed, Krystyna defies orders and takes a reckless stand. Alongside her only allies – including the legendary, but broken spy Roger and the fierce resistance leader Armand – they bait the German spy hunters into a fatal ambush, could victory at last be possible?
But the war has far more terror and treachery in store… refusing to run, Krystyna must face danger head on, as she prepares to do the impossible. Wounded and alone… the brave heroine embarks on the mission that will define her legacy.
The Partisan is set for a theatrical release on September 30th, followed by a home entertainment release on October 27th.
