Plot:
The Accountant follows Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck), an autistic math savant and forensic accountant who “uncooks” financial records for criminal organizations. Operating under a small-town CPA front, he’s contacted via a mysterious woman who manages his aliases and clients. When hired to audit Living Robotics, a robotics company with accounting irregularities, Christian uncovers a $61 million embezzlement scheme. This puts him and Dana Cummings (Anna Kendrick), the in-house accountant who found the discrepancy, in danger from hired assassins. Meanwhile, Treasury Director Ray King (J.K. Simmons) tasks agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) with tracking Christian, revealing his own surprising connection to the accountant. The plot weaves Christian’s present-day actions with flashbacks to his abusive childhood, military training, and criminal dealings, culminating in a series of twists involving his brother Brax (Jon Bernthal) and the true mastermind behind the embezzlement.
