Beirut, also known as The Negotiator in the United Kingdom,[2] is a 2018 American political thriller film[3] directed by Brad Anderson and written by Tony Gilroy.
Set in 1982 during the Lebanese Civil War, the film stars Jon Hamm as Mason Skiles, a former U.S. diplomat who returns to service in Beirut in order to save a colleague from the group responsible for the death of Skiles' wife. Rosamund Pike, Dean Norris, Shea Whigham, Larry Pine and Mark Pellegrino also star.
The film premiered on January 22, 2018, at the Sundance Film Festival and was released in the United States on April 11, 2018. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who called it "absorbing despite its flaws" and praised Hamm's and Pike's performances.[4]
