Watch a trailer.
Based on the best-selling novel, and already the highest-grossing Swedish film in history, the movie version is finally here. It begins four decades ago when Harriet Vanger disappears from a family gathering. Her body was never found, yet her beloved uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own clan. He hires a middle-aged journalist and a young, anti-social – and tattooed – computer hacker (played by the sensational Noomi Rapace) to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grisly murders from almost 40 years earlier, a dark family history begins to unravel. Author Stieg Larsson, who died suddenly in 2004, left behind three novels known as the "Millennium trilogy," which have become global sensations. This is the first screen adaptation. With subtitles. (Niels Arden Oplev; Sweden; 2009; 154 min)
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is the first of a trilogy by Stieg Larsson which features Lisbeth Salander, the character of the title, who is an antisocial misfit and computer hacker and Mikael Blomqvist, an investigative journalist.
The second book, now available in paperback, is The Girl Who Played With Fire. The conclusion, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, will be published in the US in May.
