Hanna is a 16-year-old girl who lives with her father, Erik Heller in the wilderness of northern Finland. The movie opens with her hunting and killing a reindeer, first by shooting it with an arrow that just misses its heart, and then killing it with a handgun. Since age two, Hanna has been trained... by Erik, an ex-C.I.A. operative from Germany, to be a skilled assassin. Erik knows a secret that cannot become public. He left the agency, going incognito into the Arctic. Marissa Wiegler , a C.I.A. officer, wants to kill Erik, who has trained Hanna to kill Wiegler. Hanna reads a blood-stained Grimms' Fairy Tales book frequently, has a great deal of encyclopaedic knowledge, and is fluent in several languages.
