Argylle
Argylle (/ɑːrˈɡaɪl/) is a 2024 spy action-comedy film directed by Matthew Vaughn, and written by Jason Fuchs. The film features an ensemble cast, including Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, John Cena, and Samuel L. Jackson. Its plot centres on a reclusive author who is drawn into the world of spies and espionage after she realises that a new spy novel she is writing mirrors real-world events. It was filmed in Europe from August to December 2021.
Argylle premiered at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on 24 January 2024, and was released in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2024, and in the United States on 2 February. The film received mostly negative reviews from critics, and grossed $96.2 million. Argylle is a standalone spin-off from the Kingsman franchise, with a crossover between the two planned as part of an intended spy-focused shared universe from Vaughn.
Elly Conway, an introverted spy novelist, has almost finished her fifth book about Aubrey Argylle, the eponymous character of the Argylle series, but suffers from writer's block after feedback from her mother, Ruth. On a train journey to visit Ruth and her father, Barry, Elly is saved from an ambush by an actual spy, Aidan Wilde, who explains that a devious organisation known as the Division has targeted her because her novels seemingly predict their future. Aidan travels with Elly to England, hoping her next chapter will reveal how to stop the Division.
In London, the duo searches for a "Masterkey" that would help expose the Division referenced in Elly's novels. Suspecting Aidan wants to kill her, too, Elly calls her parents for help. As they arrive, Aidan reveals that her parents are operatives of the Division, forcing him and Elly to fend them off before fleeing. Escaping to France, Aidan and former CIA deputy director Alfred "Alfie" Solomon reveal that Argylle is not entirely fictional: Elly is, in fact, agent Rachel Kylle ("Argylle" seemingly having been derived from "R. Kylle"), who was captured and brainwashed by the Division five years earlier and made to believe that Dr Margaret Vogeler (Ruth) and Director Ritter (Barry) were her parents. Elly put her suppressed memories, in modified form, into her novels; Aidan resurfaces as one of her characters, Wyatt, while Alfie reappears as her cat. With the latest Argylle novel, Rachel was about to reveal the whereabouts of the Masterkey to the world.
Aidan and Rachel travel to the Arabian Peninsula where they retrieve the Masterkey but are cornered by the Division, who return them to their base. Ritter reveals that Rachel was, in fact, a double agent and one of their most loyal assets for the Division, after which she offers to interrogate and subsequently shoots Aidan. She also locates Alfie for them but reveals that she sent him the Masterkey, betraying the Division. Aidan, revealed to have been shot in non-lethal areas, reunites with Rachel, and the two fight their way through the facility. Ritter interrupts the transmission of the Masterkey to Alfie but is fatally shot after Rachel's cat scratches out his eyes.
Aidan and Rachel escape to the Division facility exterior, revealed to be an oil tanker, to use the satellite connection to send the Masterkey. Margaret/"Ruth" uses a mental trigger code to force her "daughter" to attack Aidan until Margaret is killed by Keira, a former CIA agent. Keira had once been Rachel and Aidan's sister-in-arms and was thought dead during a mission with Rachel; these events, along with Keira as an identical, fictional version of herself, had also appeared in Elly's novels. Alfie finally receives the Masterkey transmission, and Aidan detonates the Division's oil tanker headquarters.
Resuming her novelist persona, Rachel publishes her final Argylle novel, where at a reading, the real Argylle reveals himself, much to her shock and confusion.
In a mid-credits scene, taking place twenty years earlier, a young Argylle is revealed to be a Kingsman agent, with the first novel being based on his life.
