Action star Jason Statham leads the cast of John Wick style violent action thriller The Beekeeper, coming to UK cinemas this week.
Statham, known for playing hardmen in franchises including The Expendables, Fast and Furious, The Transporter, and The Meg, returns to form with this latest Sky film that sees him take on a criminal conspiracy that goes to the very top of the US government.
Movies in which Statham has starred in have made more than $6 billion at the box office, making him one of the most bankable names in cinema. In The Beekeeper, he is joined by Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson, and British acting legend Jeremy Irons.

What is The Beekeeper about?
Statham’s Adam Clay lives a quiet life keeping bees, but finds himself pulled into a conspiracy when his only friend is defrauded of her life’s savings and takes her own life.
Clay is revealed to be a former Beekeeper, a shadowy organisation that acts outside official government channels, working as a secret check on the balance of power, with authorisation to take any action necessary to preserve the hive.
As Clay takes brutal revenge on the fraudsters that have ruined hundreds of lives, he finds himself working his way up a ladder of organised crime that leads to the oval office.
Wallace Westwyld (Irons), former director of the CIA sends an elite team to eliminate Clay in an effort to protect those at the very heart of a corrupt government, and detective Veronica Parker, daughter of Clay’s murdered friend, is also on his tail – but the abilities of a Beekeeper are unmatched, and Clay will not stop until his mission is complete.
