Aaron Eckhart is back in the world of espionage, but this time, it's personal. In the upcoming action-thriller “Chief of Station,” Eckhart plays a former CIA operative named Ben, who is compelled to unravel a European conspiracy that may be connected to his past and the mysterious death of his wife. The film is directed by Jesse V. Johnson, known for his work on action thrillers like “Savage Dog” and “Debt Collectors,” and written by George Mahaffey in his feature film writing debut.
The movie's narrative revolves around the trope of a deceitful spouse, as Ben uncovers hints that his wife had been concealing secrets of her own.

The potential for conflict is immense, as Ben grapples with the revelation that his late spouse was not who she appeared to be.
The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Olga Kurylenko, Alex Pettyfer, Daniel Bernhardt, Jonathan Ajayi, Chris Petrovski, and Laëtitia Eïdo.
