- a.k.a. Page Eight - Die Verschwörung - Verrat auf höchster Ebene
Johnny Worricker ist ein erfahrener MI5-Agent, der auch sehr gut mit seinem Chef, dem MI5-Direktor Benedict Baron, befreundet ist. Baron lebt zusammen mit Johnnys Ex-Frau und seiner Tochter auf seinem Landanwesen. Eines Tages stirbt der MI5-Chef plötzlich an einem Herzinfarkt. Der Tod seines Freundes geschieht kurz nachdem Johnny eine interessante Meldung erreicht hat. Der englische Premierminister hat brisante Informationen vor dem Geheimdienst zurückgehalten und Johnny beginnt zu glauben, dass der Tod seines Freundes etwas damit zu tun haben könnte und will den Vorfall an die Öffentlichkeit bringen. Der Premierminister will die Sache vertuschen und Johnny taucht bei seiner schönen Nachbarin, einer politischen Aktivistin, unter.

Italian (Italiano)
L'agente veterano dei servizi segreti Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) è un uomo d'altri tempi, calmo e osservatore, che adora il jazz e colleziona opere d'arte. Dopo la morte improvvisa del suo capo nonché miglior amico Benedict Baron (Michael Gambon), Johnny si ritrova tra le mani un misterioso documento top-secret, che contiene scomode rivelazioni sul primo ministro inglese (Ralph Fiennes). Nel frattempo, l'incontro apparentemente casuale con l'affascinante attivista politica Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz) complica ulteriormente tutta la vicenda. Inizia così una serie di eventi che mettono alla prova l'integrità di Johnny.
Part of The Worricker Collection
The 2011 BBC Two film "Page Eight" was followed in March 2014 by "Turks & Caicos" and "Salting the Battlefield". The three films are jointly known as The Worricker Trilogy. All three films feature Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy), a long-serving MI5 officer, who learns that the Prime Minister knew about secret US rendition camps long before the British intelligence community knew about them. When the PM realises that Johnny knows, Johnny has to flee the country. And while in exile in the tax haven Turks & Caicos, Johnny learns even more disturbing things about the PM, before he has to flee again.

The second movie in David Hare's Johnny Worricker trilogy. Loose-limbed spy Johnny Worricker, last seen whistleblowing at MI5 in Page Eight, has a new life. He is hiding out in Ray-Bans on the Caribbean islands of the title, eating lobster and calling himself Tom Eliot (he’s a poet at heart). We’re drawn into his world and his predicament when Christopher Walken strolls in as a shadowy American who claims to know Johnny. The encounter forces him into the company of some ambiguous American businessmen who claim to be on the islands for a conference on the global financial crisis. When one of them falls in the sea, their financial PR seems to know more than she's letting on. Worricker soon learns the extent of their shady activities and he must act quickly to survive when links to British prime minister Alec Beasley come to light.
