In Luther: The Fallen Sun — an epic continuation of the award-winning television saga reimagined for film — a gruesome serial killer is terrorizing London while brilliant but disgraced detective John Luther sits behind bars. Haunted by his failure to capture the cyber psychopath who now taunts him, Luther decides to break out of prison to finish the job by any means necessary.
The film was written by Neil Cross, directed by Jaime Paine, and stars Idris Elba, Cynthia Erivo, Andy Serkis, and Dermot Crowley, who returns as Martin Schenk.
