Christian Wolff (Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King (J.K. Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.

"The Accountant" also stars Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick ("Up in the Air," "Into the Woods"), Oscar winner J.K. Simmons ("Whiplash," the "Spider-Man" films), Jon Bernthal ("Fury," "The Wolf of Wall Street"), Jean Smart (TV's "Fargo," "24"), and Cynthia Addai-Robinson ("Star Trek: Into Darkness"), with Jeffrey Tambor (TV's "Transparent," "The Hangover" films) and two-time Oscar nominee John Lithgow ("Interstellar," "Terms of Endearment," "The World According to Garp").

O'Connor directed the film from a screenplay by Bill Dubuque ("The Judge"). The film was produced by Mark Williams and Lynette Howell, with O'Connor, Jamie Patricof and Marty Ewing serving as executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography Seamus McGarvey ("Anna Karenina," "Atonement," upcoming "Pan"), production designer Keith Cunningham, Oscar-nominated editor Richard Pearson ("United 93"), costume designer Nancy Steiner, and Oscar-nominated composer Mark Isham ("Warrior," "A River Runs Through It").

Warner Bros. Pictures presents an Electric City Entertainment/Zero Gravity Management Production, a Gavin O'Connor Film, "The Accountant." The film is slated to be released In Cinemas 3 November 2016.
