A disgraced journalist and a punk hacker unravel decades-old secrets on a wintry Swedish island.
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
What is hidden in snow, comes forth in the thaw.
Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist investigates the disappearance of a weary patriarch's niece from 40 years ago. He is aided by the pierced, tattooed, punk computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander. As they work together in the investigation, Blomkvist and Salander uncover immense corruption beyond anything they have ever imagined.
Quick Answer
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a 2011 Sweden/United States thriller, crime, and mystery film directed by David Fincher about a disgraced journalist and a punk hacker investigating a decades-old disappearance.
Programmer's Pick
David Fincher turns the icy bleakness up to eleven with this brooding remake, where punk hacker Lisbeth Salander and fallen journalist Mikael Blomkvist probe a cold case laced with sadists, Nazis, and more family secrets than a locked-room mystery could contain. Rooney Mara's punked-out Lisbeth is a force of nature, hacking her way through Stockholm’s darkest corners. Not your average book adaptation—this one bites back.
