What is Inheritance about?
Maya has always known her father Sam as a quiet, unremarkable man. After his death, a series of unexpected discoveries shatters that image entirely — he was a trained intelligence operative with a hidden past. As Maya begins piecing together the truth about who Sam really was, she inadvertently draws the attention of dangerous people who would prefer those secrets stay buried. Forced to think fast and trust almost no one, Maya must draw on instincts she never knew she had to survive an escalating threat she did not ask for and cannot simply walk away from.
Cast & crew
Director Neil Burger, known for tightly constructed genre films, keeps the tension grounded in character. Phoebe Dynevor anchors the story with a performance that moves from confusion to resolve. Rhys Ifans adds menace as a key antagonist, while the supporting ensemble — Ciara Baxendale, Majd Eid, and Byron Clohessy among them — fills the world around Maya with credible urgency.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, spy thrillers that center on family secrets carry a particular resonance. Stories of uncovering what a parent really did — the lives they lived before we knew them — hit close to home for many who grew up with fragments of untold history in their own households. Inheritance leans into this emotional core while delivering the propulsive pacing of a mainstream Hollywood thriller. The film is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible for viewers who prefer to watch in Persian without relying on subtitles.
