The 355 (2022)
The 355 is an action-packed espionage thriller that brings together an international team of female spies who must unite to prevent a global catastrophe. The film’s title refers to Agent 355, a legendary code name used in the American Revolution for a mysterious female spy, hinting at the film’s exploration of women in the espionage world.
The story follows Mason “Mace” Brown (Jessica Chastain), a skilled CIA agent who is tasked with tracking down a dangerous piece of technology—a hard drive capable of unlocking the most sensitive government secrets. When the mission goes awry, Mace finds herself on the run, targeted by both allies and enemies.
In her pursuit of the hard drive, Mace forms an unlikely alliance with a group of elite women in intelligence: a German BND agent (Diane Kruger), a British MI6 operative (Lupita Nyong’o), a Colombian criminal (Penélope Cruz), and a Chinese agent (Fan Bingbing). Together, they must outsmart both their adversaries and their own governments to stop the device from falling into the wrong hands.

The film explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and empowerment, highlighting the strength of these women as they navigate dangerous situations and high-octane action sequences.
With a strong ensemble cast and a fast-paced plot, The 355 delivers exciting fight sequences, sharp wit, and powerful moments of female solidarity, as the team works to prevent the weapon from wreaking havoc on the world.
