goes out into the world for the first time - and has to

elements of dark fairy tales into the adventure thriller
Hanna, filmed on location in Europe and Morocco.
Hanna (played by Academy Award nominee Saoirse
Ronan of Atonement, also directed by Joe Wright) is 16
years old. She is bright, inquisitive, and a devoted
daughter. Uniquely, she has the strength, the stamina,
and the smarts of a soldier; these come from being
raised by her widowed father Erik (Eric Bana), an
ex-CIA man, in the wilds of North Finland. Erik has
taught Hanna to hunt, put her through extreme
self-defense workouts, and home-schooled her with
only an encyclopedia and a book of fairy tales. Hanna
has been living a life unlike any other teenager; her
upbringing and training have been one and the same,
all geared to making her the perfect assassin. But out
in the world there is unfinished business for Hanna's
family, and it is with a combination of pride and
apprehension that Erik realizes his daughter can no
longer be held back. -- (C) Focus Features
