The Assassin's Creed film was released in cinemas in 2016.
Directed by Justin Kurzel, the film stars Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch and Aguilar de Nerha. Its plot uses the franchise's Animus concept to connect a modern descendant with an ancestor living during the Spanish Inquisition.
The film was released in the United States on December 21, 2016, after opening in some international markets earlier that month. It adapts ideas from the games but tells a separate story rather than directly retelling one game's campaign.
The movie includes performers such as Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, and Michael K. Williams. Its historical sections are set in 15th-century Spain, while its modern sections focus on Abstergo and the research surrounding genetic memories.
