The Beekeeper (2023)
The Story
Who is looking out for the older and less tech-savvy who are targeted by currupt “IT specialists” that empty bank accounts and laugh at their scams? Adam Clay, a seemingly peaceful beekeeper, is. He tends his apiaries with quiet care, but beneath the gentle exterior lies a storm. Adam, once part of a clandestine organization known as “Beekeepers,” trained for shadows and honed for lethal precision, resurfaces. Fueled by a burning need for retribution, he embarks on a ruthless mission, his every move as swift and silent as a defending bee. His path collides with Agent Verona Parker, a tenacious FBI investigator caught between apprehending him before his vigilante justice spirals out of control and letting him carry out his plans. Then there’s also the people behind the scams who are hellbent on keeping their operation alive and profitable. Just how far will The Beekeeper go to protect his hive?
