About the Film

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a 2011 American psychological crime thriller directed by David Fincher, based on Stieg Larsson's bestselling Swedish novel. Daniel Craig stars as Mikael Blomkvist, a disgraced investigative journalist hired by a wealthy industrialist to solve the 40-year-old disappearance of his niece. Blomkvist is assisted by Lisbeth Salander, played by Rooney Mara, a brilliant but deeply troubled young hacker with a photographic memory and a history of abuse by authority figures.

Rooney Mara's transformation into Lisbeth — pierced, tattooed, skeletal, and radiating controlled fury — was a career-defining performance that earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. David Fincher's direction was characteristically meticulous, creating a cold, gray Sweden that felt as inhospitable and secretive as the mystery itself. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's score, featuring their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" with Karen O over the opening credits, established an ominous, industrial tone.

The film earned $232 million worldwide on a $90 million budget.
