Loosely based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, Hit Man follows the disguise-donning exploits of Gary Johnson (Glen Powell, Top Gun: Maverick), a mild-mannered professor moonlighting as a fake hit man in police stings. He inadvertently ignites a chain reaction of trouble when he falls for new potential client Maddy Masters (Adria Arjona, Andor) – his life spiraling into a powder keg of deception, delight and mixed-up identities.
A rapturously received festival favourite, this irresistibly charming, sizzling comedy-thriller is the joyous latest from beloved indie director Richard Linklater (Boyhood, The Before Trilogy), confirming fast-rising star (and talented co-writer) Glen Powell as one of the most effortlessly charismatic leading men in Hollywood.
