James Bond meets Tintin in a mind-control murder mystery with vintage swagger.
Europe, 1941. Nazi Germany develops the Omega Wave: a dangerous mind-control weapon capable of bending human will. MI5 Captain Blake and physicist Mortimer join forces to destroy it. The lab goes up in flames and the weapon is lost… or so they believe. Twelve years later, in 1953 London, a string of unexplained deaths grips the city. A shadowy figure known as “M” surfaces, armed with the Omega Wave. With the Queen’s coronation days away, Blake and Mortimer, two old friends, reunite on a deadly mission.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Blake & Mortimer is Belgium's answer to British spy fiction — created by Edgar P. Jacobs in 1946, predating Bond by nearly a decade and obsessed with Anglo-Belgian diplomatic bromance.
Cedric Nicolas-Troyan directed the second Huntsman movie, which means he's spent his career making gorgeous, slightly unhinged period action that critics ignore and audiences half-remember.
