Plot:
The Beekeeper (2024) is an action thriller centered around Adam Clay, portrayed by Jason Statham, who leads a quiet life as a beekeeper until his friend and landlady, Eloise Parker, falls victim to a phishing scam that leads to her suicide. Discovering that this scam is part of a larger, sinister operation, Adam, who is revealed to be a retired operative from a secretive organization known as the "Beekeepers," embarks on a brutal campaign of revenge. His quest for vengeance leads him through layers of corruption, confronting both the scammers and higher-ups involved in the scheme, including those with ties to the U.S. government. The plot escalates as Adam's actions draw the attention of FBI agents and former CIA operatives, leading to intense action sequences and a showdown that reveals the extent of the conspiracy.
