Mikkel Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), a financial reporter for Millennium magazine, was overwhelmed by a defamation lawsuit caused by a report, but unexpectedly received an invitation from Henry Vanger (Christopher Plummer), the founder of Sweden's top family business Vanger Industries. On the surface, Mikkel wanted to write a biography for the other party, but in fact he was helping Dickey investigate an unresolved murder case that occurred in the family 40 years ago. Mikkel carefully sorted out the piles of information and communicated with family members. But at the critical moment, a marginal girl Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) hacked into the computer and stole the information. He found Lis, who also had extraordinary investigative abilities, and invited her to investigate together, but found that there was a bottomless black hole of desire in front of him... This film is adapted from the original work of Swedish novelist Stieg Larsson.
