The November Man is an action-thriller film directed by Roger Donaldson and based on the seventh novel in Bill Granger’s The November Man series, titled There Are No Spies.
The November Man Movie Summary
The film centers on Peter Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan), a legendary, highly dangerous ex-CIA operative codenamed “The November Man.” Devereaux is living in quiet retirement in Switzerland when he is coaxed back into the field by his former boss, John Hanley, for a seemingly straightforward extraction mission.
The mission involves extracting Natalia Ulanova, an aide to the Russian President-elect, who holds critical intelligence on the former general’s war crimes. However, the operation goes wrong when Ulanova is assassinated by an operative from a separate CIA team—Devereaux’s own former protégé, David Mason (Luke Bracey).

The mission quickly spirals into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as Devereaux goes rogue, determined to uncover the conspiracy behind Ulanova’s death and protect Alice Fournier (Olga Kurylenko), a refugee case worker who holds the key to the decades-old conspiracy. Devereaux finds himself pitted directly against Mason, a highly trained but impulsive operative, in a brutal battle where the line between mentor and student, and between friend and enemy, is blurred within a corrupt CIA and Russian political landscape.
