💡 This post is both a summary and review of Operation Fortune. That is to say, it may contain spoilers.

Nathan

The British Intelligence Services get wind of a dangerous object that was stolen from a facility. The object is unknown but is so valuable that they feel it has to be retrieved before it falls into the wrong hands. Nathan, played by Cary Elwes, a super-agent is tasked with assembling the team by his boss, Knighton, played by Eddie Marsan, who says that he needs the operation to be conducted ‘ruse de guerre’ meaning that it needs to be done using unconventional methods of warfare.

Orson

When asked to assemble a team, Nathan says that he’ll enlist agent Orson Fortune to head the team for the job. Agent Orson, played by Jason Statham, is a very untoward agent who spends fortunes from the intelligence services on expensive wine and vacations. Knighton is shocked to hear that Nathan thinks Orson’s the man for the job but on deliberation, Orson is tasked with finding the unknown object and retrieving it.
