What Is “Operation Fortune” About?
Super spy Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) must track down and stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology wielded by billionaire arms broker Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). Reluctantly teamed with some of the world’s best operatives (Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Bugzy Malone), Fortune and his crew recruit Hollywood’s biggest movie star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) to help them on their globe-trotting undercover mission to save the world.
As the title “Ruse de guerre” (ruse of war) suggests, there’s plenty of scheming. Francesco is blackmailed into working with Fortune with video of him getting intimate with his sister-in-law. The actor then uses his charisma and charm to win over Simmonds, his biggest fan.
