About the Red Sparrow 💬

• Seduce. Deceive. Repeat.

Dominika Egorova is many things.

A devoted daughter determined to protect her mother at all costs.

A prima ballerina whose ferocity has pushed her body and mind to the absolute limit.

A master of seductive and manipulative combat.

• Become the missing piece.

When she suffers a career-ending injury, Dominika and her mother Nina Egorova (Joely Richardson) are facing a bleak and uncertain future.

• Looks can be deceiving.

That is why she finds herself manipulated into becoming the newest recruit for Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service that trains exceptional young people like her to use their bodies and minds as weapons.

• The road to forgiveness begins with betrayal.

After enduring the perverse and sadistic training process, she emerges as the most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced.

• In the game of deception, she will become a master.

Dominika must now reconcile the person she was with the power she now commands, with her own life and everyone she cares about at risk, including an American CIA agent who tries to convince her he is the only person she can trust.

• I know your secrets.

But, can the seductive operative make it out alive in a world filled with secrets and extreme danger?

• THE CHARACTERS IN RED SPARROW

Name: Dominika Egorova

Played by: Jennifer Lawrence

Occupation: Prima ballerina-turned-unwitting-Russian spy

Skills:

Trained in psychological manipulation;
Able to push herself beyond all limitation;
Lethal martial artist;
Master of seduction;

Remarks: After an injury ends her career as a prima ballerina, Dominika is recruited by her Uncle Ivan to take part in a top-secret operation for the Russian government. She agrees because the officials promise to help with her sick mother's medical bills. The operation ends with a man dead and Dominika given a stark choice: die herself or become a Sparrow - a lethal seductress for her country...

Name: Nathaniel 'Nate' Nash

Played by: Joel Edgerton

Occupation: Internal-Ops Officer for the CIA

Skills:

Streetwise;
Expert at evading surveillance;
Speaks fluent Russian;

Remarks: There's a high-ranking mole within the Russian government who's been spilling secrets to the Americans for more than a decade. Nate is their handler - or at least that's what top Russian officials believe. So they send Dominika to get close to him... which she succeeds in doing. A little too close, in fact...

Name: Ivan Dimitrevich Egorov

Played by: Matthias Schoenaerts

Occupation: First Deputy Director of the SVR

Skills:

Charming (on the outside at least);
Persuasive (he manages to talk Dominika into attending Sparrow School);
Lethal (he has no problem ordering his underlings to kill or doing it himself for that matter).

Remarks: Ivan is Dominika's uncle and the person who 'persuades' her to become a Sparrow. He also sets her the task of seducing Nate. He is a driven, naturally suspicious man who will do anything to protect Mother Russia, including using his niece as a pawn (yup, he's not a good guy).

Name: General Vladimir Andreiyevich Korchnoi

Played by: Jeremy Irons

Occupation: Head of the SVR's Americas Department

Skills: Korchnoi is one of the highest-ranking officials within Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service - he is a warrior in every sense.

Remarks: Korchnoi is something of a father figure to Dominika, following the death of her own beloved dad. (In the book, she sees him with a purple aura - the same as her father, Vassily.) But he's also a man of many secrets - what is he hiding and from whom?
