‘The Amateur’ Makes Its Mark on Digital 6/10 and 4K & Blu-ray on 7/8

There’s no need to decrypt any intel to watch 20th Century Studios’ The Amateur starting June 10 via digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, and on 4K UHD and Blu-ray beginning July 8.

Fans of smart, high-stakes action thrillers will be drawn into the gripping journey of CIA codebreaker Charlie Heller (Rami Malek), who channels his intellect into a relentless pursuit of justice after his wife is killed in a terrorist attack. Under the tactical guidance of seasoned CIA operative Henderson (Laurence Fishburne), Heller evolves from analyst to avenger in a riveting story of love, loss, and retribution. Set against a visually striking global backdrop, The Amateur is brought to life by acclaimed director James Hawes – and hailed by Deadline’s Pete Hammond as “a gripping global spy thriller.”

Charlie Heller (Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge.

Audiences can uncover additional intel through bonus features that shed new light on Heller’s world including deleted scenes that explore his relationship with wife Sarah (Rachel Brosnahan) and reveal more about his enigmatic informer, Inquiline (Caitríona Balfe). Behind-the-scenes featurettes dive into the film’s striking visual effects, cinematography, and score, with special focus on the gravity-defying sky pool sequence and a global look at Heller’s high-stakes pursuit across international borders.
