The plot of Beckett:
While vacationing in Greece, Beckett (John David Washington), an American tourist, becomes the target of a manhunt after a devastating accident.
Forced to run for his life and desperate to get across the country to the American embassy to clear his name, tensions escalate as the authorities close in, political unrest mounts, and Beckett falls even deeper into a dangerous web of conspiracy.
He said that the inspiration for the film comes from a “Frankenstein of ingredients” from a huge range of books and movies, many of which are set in a “political theatre.”
“Stealing from these ingredients and trying to find something that’s more, I would say, relatable – I wanted to see what if we take these ingredients but place an ordinary man who is not a spy and who is not equipped to deal with the situations that these chaotically thrown ingredients create,” he said.
