Today, Disney has released the latest 20th Century Studios movie, “The Amateur”, on digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

Charlie Heller (Rami Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge.

Audiences can uncover additional intel through bonus features that shed new light on Heller’s world including deleted scenes that explore his relationship with wife Sarah (Rachel Brosnahan) and reveal more about his enigmatic informer, Inquiline (Caitríona Balfe). Behind-the-scenes featurettes dive into the film’s striking visual effects, cinematography, and score, with special focus on the gravity-defying sky pool sequence and a global look at Heller’s high-stakes pursuit across international borders.

The bonus features include:

• The Team – Join the cast and crew as they reflect on what drew them to this bold project. Rami Malek shares his dual experience as both actor and producer. Director James Hawes and others discuss how the script blends emotional depth and high-stakes action.

• The Pool – Go behind the scenes as the talented creative team uncovers how Charlie’s ingenious plan involving the sky pool was conceived, planned and executed, blending practical effects and cutting-edge technology to deliver a show-stopping moment.
• The Score – Listen in as the composer and director talk about the challenges of creating the score’s various themes — and using unusual instruments and techniques — to bring emotion and drama to this unique thriller.
• Deleted Scenes:
