Based on the novel A Very Private Gentleman by Martin Booth and shot on location in scenic Italy, The American stars Academy Award® winner George Clooney as an unwilling assassin keen to end his career as a gun for hire.

Holed up in a small medieval town, Jack (Clooney) takes an assignment to construct a weapon for a mysterious contact. Savoring the peaceful quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful woman, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack and Clara's time together evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.

From critically acclaimed director of Control, The American is a sexy thriller that will capture audiences and take them on the journey of one man's mission, his last mission, to get out of the criminal underworld.
