Directed by Justin Kurzel, Assassin’s Creed (2016) is a science fiction action film based on the popular Ubisoft video game series. The movie stars Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch, a career criminal who learns he is a descendant of the Assassins, a secret society opposing the Templars.

Captured by the enigmatic Abstergo Industries, Callum is forced to relive the memories of his ancestor, Aguilar de Nerha, through the advanced Animus technology. This allows him to experience Aguilar’s life in 15th-century Spain, where Aguilar battles the oppressive Templar Order.

As Callum immerses himself in Aguilar’s past, he gains extraordinary skills and knowledge, aiding his fight against the Templars, who are attempting to control humanity using the ancient Apple of Eden. With the help of Sofia (Marion Cotillard), a scientist at Abstergo, Callum strives to reclaim his identity and thwart the Templars’ dark ambitions.

Assassin’s Creed blends historical drama, high-octane action, and sci-fi elements, capturing the game’s themes of freedom, conspiracy, and the age-old struggle between Assassins and Templars. The film is renowned for its stunning historical recreations and intense action choreography, offering a visually engaging experience for both fans of the game series and newcomers.
