What happens in Hitman: Agent 47 from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Decades ago, Dr. Piotr Litvenko (Ciarán Hinds) led a secretive program that aimed to develop clone soldiers—so-called “perfect assassins” endowed with enhanced strength, intelligence, and reflexes, while being incapable of feeling emotions such as guilt or remorse. After grappling with a crisis of conscience, Litvenko vanished, leaving his daughter Katia behind. In the wake of his disappearance, the government shut down the program, and the remaining agents began to drift away. Despite numerous attempts to revive the program, the modified agents continued to perish, leading to a singular goal: tracking down Litvenko, the key to reincarnating the program.
