Statham's character, a former 'Beekeeper' operative, seeks retribution for a deadly phishing scam in this action-packed thriller.

Jason Statham stars in the new R-rated action movie, The Beekeeper, where he plays a former operative of a clandestine organization known as 'Beekeepers' who comes out of retirement to seek vengeance.
The movie follows Statham's character, Adam Clay, as he hunts down those responsible for a phishing scam that led to the suicide of his employer, Eloise, played by Phylicia Rashad.
Other key characters include FBI Agent Verona Parker, played by Emmy Raver-Lampman, who initially believes Clay is responsible for her mother’s death but later realizes he’s pursuing and killing anyone who had a role in the scam.
