Argylle
Overview
Argylle is a 2024 action comedy thriller film directed by Matthew Vaughn, based on the unpublished novel by Elly Conway. The film stars Bryce Dallas Howard as Elly Conway, a reclusive, best-selling spy novelist who is drawn into a real-world spy ring. Elly writes books about a suave, super-spy named Argylle (Henry Cavill). She is targeted by a mysterious organization, and she is forced to go on the run with her cat and a real-life spy, Aiden (Sam Rockwell). She discovers that her novels have been predicting real-world events, and that she is the key to stopping a global conspiracy. The film is a meta, self-aware, and visually inventive action comedy. It features a star-studded cast, including John Cena, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O'Hara. The film was a commercial disappointment, but it has gained a cult following for its over-the-top style and its witty script.
