“Kruger is compelling” - Screen Daily

From director Yuval Adler (Bethlehem), The Operative follows Mossad agent Rachael (Diane Kruger) in a thrilling story of global espionage. Ostensibly hired as an English teacher, Rachael is tasked with the undercover infiltration of an electronics company in Tehran tied to Iran’s nuclear regime. When she vanishes without a trace while attending her father's funeral in London, the only clue to her whereabouts is a cryptic phone call placed to her former handler Thomas (Martin Freeman). With Rachel's life immersed in her assignments, Thomas must retrace her steps to determine what threats she may now pose to their operation, while also working to protect her.
