Jon Hamm Beirut

Jon Hamm stars in Beirut as a U.S. diplomat who left Lebanon in 1972 after suffering a tragedy. Ten years later, he returns at the behest of a CIA operative (Rosamund Pike) to seek the return of a friend who remained in the war-torn country.

Tensions are already high as our exclusive clip begins. Hamm is seated in the back of a van, urgently explaining to another man why he has returned to Lebanon and why his motives are genuine and pure. Then the other man pulls a gun.

Watch the clip below. Tickets to Beirut are now on sale; the suspenseful drama opens in theaters on Wednesday, April 11.
