Assassin's Creed movie quotes help bring the popular video game to life in the feature film about a descendant of the Assassin's Creed secret order who is sent back to experience life as a 500-year-old ancestor. Based on the video game of the same name by Ubisoft, Michael Leslie, Adam Cooper and Bill Collage penned the screenplay. Directed by Justin Kurzel, Assassin's Creed opened in theaters in the United States on December 21, 2016.
In Assassin's Creed, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) is surprisingly saved from execution by Abstergo Industries and taken to their facility. He soon meets CEO Alan Rikkin (Jeremy Irons) and his daughter, Dr. Sophia Rikkin (Marion Cotillard), who explain to him a little about what's going on. Apparently, Abstergo Industries has been researching Callum and learned that his 500-year-old ancestors were members of the Assassin's Creed secret order in the Spanish Inquisition.
As Callum learns, Abstergo Industries has developed the Animus Project which allows Callum to experience life as one of his ancestors and something Abstergo Industries wants him to do and why they saved him from execution. So Callum enters the Animus and lives life as his ancestor, Aguilar de Nerha, where he learns that he's not the only one involved in the project. But why he and others are sent into the project is still the secret that will change the lives of everyone involved forever.
Assassin's Creed joins theaters to close out 2016 alongside the likes of A Monster Calls, Passengers, Sing, and Solace.
