The Secret Agent 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray is a gripping political thriller from acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho. Blending suspense, history and social commentary, this ambitious and richly layered drama explores life under Brazil's military dictatorship while drawing powerful connections to the present day.

With an electrifying blend of kinetic punch and elegiac historical sweep, Kleber Mendonça Filho connects life under Brazil's twentieth-century military dictatorship to the living present, delivering a kaleidoscopic period thriller pulsing with resonance. In 1977, under the alias Armando, a man arrives in the city of Recife to try to make a fresh start with his young son. However, the threat of violence immediately encroaches, while around him swirl corrupt cops, grimy hit men, haunted exiles and a wild urban legend that ignites a public frenzy.

Continually spinning off its temporal and narrative axes, The Secret Agent unfurls an epic canvas teeming with life and love for those who refuse to submit to systems of oppression.
