A scholar living a solitary life, travels to Istanbul for a lecture. While there she wanders into a shop and buys a bottle that unknowingly has a Djinn living inside who offers her three wishes. 

When cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves.
