Lone Wolf (2021 film)

Lone Wolf is a 2021 Australian science fiction political thriller film written and directed by Jonathan Ogilvie. It stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Hugo Weaving, Lawrence Mooney, Josh McConville, and Diana Glenn.

Plot
The story is based on Joseph Conrad's 1907 novel The Secret Agent, but set in the near future in Australia instead of London in the early 1900s. Winnie, who runs an adult book and video store with her boyfriend Conrad, shares a home with her learning disabled brother Stevie. Conrad is drawn into a plot by a banned organisation to disrupt the forthcoming G20 summit, little suspecting that he could be a target.
