Phoebe Dynevor and Rhys Ifans form a father-daughter duo who become targets in a race around the globe in Neil Burger’s Inheritance trailer

Traveling the world is a thrilling opportunity few get to experience. It’s expensive and nerve-racking to plan, and taking time off work is a hassle when your least favorite co-worker has already eaten up all the choice vacation slots. Jet-setting is particularly daunting when criminals and government agents want you dead. Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor is about to learn how to visit foreign lands while remaining below the radar in Neil Burger‘s Inheritance trailer. Grab your passport, shades, and an inconspicuous dad hat, and let’s go!

Here’s the official synopsis for Inheritance:

“When Maya (Dynevor) learns that her father was once a spy, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an international conspiracy. In her quest for answers, Maya becomes a target and must travel the globe, mastering her father’s skills and unraveling the mysteries of his past in this gripping espionage thriller.”

Limitless, Divergent, and Voyagers director Neil Burger gets behind the camera for Inheritance. He also wrote the screenplay with Olen Steinhauer. Burger, Bill Block, and Charles Miller produce.

In today’s Inheritance trailer, Maya (Dynevor) discovers her father (Rhys Ifans) was a spy, and some of his former work has followed him onto his new venture. As enemies surround her, Maya learns she cannot run forever as she leads her pursuers into a game of cat and mouse around the globe. Maya has no choice but to pick up the torch from her father if she wants to survive, and the learning curve is steep.

Rhys Ifans joins Phoebe Dynevor for Burger’s espionage thriller from IFC Films. His character’s life hangs in the balance after he drags his daughter into his mess.

Phoebe Dynevor is busy these days with multiple projects, including Beneath the Storm, a thriller written and directed by Tommy Wirkola starring Dynevor, Djimon Hounsou, Whitney Peak, and Dante Ubaldi. Dynevor is currently working on the set of the Jody Hill thriller Famous. In Famous, Lance Dunkquist (Zac Efron) has the face of a movie star. Not just any movie star – Lance has been mistaken for Hollywood star James Jansen 228 times. Now, Lance is about to go to LA to make his dream come true. No matter what it takes. Famous stars Zac Efron, Phoebe Dynevor, Cory Michael Smith, Mekki Leeper, Nicholas Braun, Debby Ryan, and more.
