Directed by David Ayer and written by Kurt Wimmer, The Beekeeper delivers a high-octane narrative centered around Adam Clay (played by Jason Statham). Clay is a former operative of a classified, elite organization known as "The Beekeepers." When his kindly neighbor falls victim to a malicious phishing scam that drains her life savings, Clay wages a brutal, one-man war against the corporate superstructure responsible for the cyber fraud.
