Lone Wolf is a 2021 Australian science fiction political thriller film written and directed by Jonathan Ogilvie. It stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Hugo Weaving, Lawrence Mooney, Josh McConville, and Diana Glenn.

Plot

The story is based on Joseph Conrad's 1907 novel The Secret Agent , but set in the near future in Australia instead of London in the early 1900s. Winnie, who runs an adult book and video store with her boyfriend Conrad, shares a home with her learning disabled brother Stevie. Conrad is drawn into a plot by a banned organisation to disrupt the forthcoming G20 summit, little suspecting that he could be a target. ^[1]
