The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

In the final installment of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy, Lisbeth Salander (the unforgettable Noomi Rapace) is fighting for her life in more ways than one. Isolated in intensive care, she will be tried for three murders, and even with crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) working on her behalf, it weighs heavily on Lisbeth to prove her own innocence.
