Legacy of Lies is a 2020 film written and directed by Adrian Bol and starring Scott Adkins.

Plot

A decade ago, agent Martin Baxter quit MI6 after his wife's tragic murder in an operation gone wrong. But when journalist Sasha asks for help solving an old case, Martin finds himself in the crosshairs of both UK and Russian intelligence. With his daughter held captive by the KGB, Martin has just 24 hours to deliver the secret case files — which means risking both Sasha's life and his own.[1]
