Aaron Eckhart and Tommy Lee Jones headline the movie Wander, so how do you know them and the supporting cast? Directed by April Mullen, the 94-minute thriller released in theaters during late 2020. Wander follows a conspiracy theorist who investigates the government's possible role in a local murder.
In Wander, a private eye named Arthur Bretnik (Eckhart) co-hosts a conspiracy theory podcast with his older buddy Jimmy Cleats (Jones). He's traumatized by the death of his daughter and discovers that runaways are being implanted with technology for government testing, or at least that's how it seems from his perspective. After meeting with a supposed CIA agent, Elsa Viceroy, Arthur learns the dark truth about government immigration regulations.
The Wander main cast features two big-name male stars, but audiences may be most intrigued by Canadian actress Katheryn Winnick, who portrays the enigmatic Elsa.
