Ghosted (2023) follows the story of Cole Turner (Chris Evans), a charming but slightly clingy farmer who falls hard for a mysterious woman named Sadie (Ana de Armas) after a whirlwind first date in Washington D.C. Their chemistry is undeniable, but after their night together, Sadie stops responding to his textsβleaving Cole heartbroken and convinced heβs been ghosted.
In a bold (and ill-advised) move, Cole uses a tracking feature on her inhaler to follow her all the way to London, hoping to surprise her and reignite their connection. But what he finds instead is a deadly international conspiracy. Within hours of landing, Cole is mistaken for a top-secret operative called βThe Taxmanβ and gets swept into a whirlwind of espionage, torture, and gunfights.
To his shock, Sadie turns out to be a real CIA agent, and a highly skilled one at that. Sheβs on a mission to recover a stolen biological weapon from a rogue arms dealer, and now Cole, completely out of his depth, is caught in the middle. What began as a romantic gesture quickly becomes a globe-trotting adventure from London to Pakistan and beyond, as the two try to stay aliveβand complete the mission.
As they dodge assassins, survive high-speed chases, and bicker nonstop, Cole and Sadie are forced to confront their wildly different personalities. Heβs sensitive, domestic, and desperate for connection; sheβs hardened, solitary, and emotionally distant. But their growing affection and mutual respect slowly break through the emotional walls theyβve both built.
In the end, Ghosted delivers a playful mix of romance and high-octane action, wrapped in clever banter and physical comedy. Itβs a story about love in the most unexpected places, proving that even when you’re ghosted, the spark might just lead to something explosive literally and emotionally.
