Henry Cavill’s spy action-comedy film Argylle is set to hit theaters in the United States on February 2, 2024. Apple TV+ has teamed up with Universal Pictures to distribute the film theatrically. As Apple’s name is attached to the Matthew Vaughn-directed film, it will be available to stream on Apple TV+ as it completes its theatrical run.
However, the makers are yet to announce the streaming release date.
According to Universal Pictures, the synopsis for the film reads:
“From the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman franchise, Kick-Ass) comes Argylle, a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller.”
The synopsis further reads:
“Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books-which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate-begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.”
It concludes:
“Accompanied by Aiden (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.”
Argylle: Plot, cast and more explored
Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, is the author of bestselling spy novels. Elly’s book focuses on a secret agent named Argylle, played by Henry Cavill, who is on a mission to stop a spy syndicate. Her life changes when the fictional stories that she wrote for her novel happen in real life.
The trailer for the feature also spotlights a real-world spy, Aidan, played by Sam Rockwell, who tells Elly that her stories are happening in reality. A real-world spy syndicate, possibly led by Bryan Cranston’s character Ritter, tries to kidnap Elly, as her book will help the syndicate to know their future.
As the spy syndicate tries to kidnap Elly, Aidan arrives to save her. Elly embarks on a mission with Aidan to stop the real-world spy syndicate, and with her books, they are now one step ahead. Besides this, on her journey, Elly will also discover who the real-world Argylle is.
