The film follows Mikael Blomkvist, a journalist shaken by a defamation conviction, hired by industrialist Henrik Vanger to probe the long-unsolved disappearance of his niece Harriet. His inquiry brings him together with Lisbeth Salander, a brilliant but marginalized hacker and tenacious investigator, as the case gradually unveils secrets buried within a powerful Swedish dynasty.
Adapted from the first book of the Millennium trilogy, the film recaptures the motifs of Stieg Larsson's novel: a family investigation, systemic violence, financial corruption and digital sleuthing. In David Fincher's filmography, it extends a thread of dark police thrillers, alongside Zodiac and Gone Girl.
The film earned Rooney Mara an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander. Its score, composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, continues their collaboration with David Fincher following The Social Network.
Millennium: The Men Who Hate Women targets fans of psychological thrillers, investigative narratives, and dark-toned literary adaptations. Its streaming release on Prime Video arrives as part of a May 2026 lineup that brings together several thrillers, police procedurals and catalog titles.
