About Cleaner

During a glitzy energy company gala, a group of radical activists storms the venue and takes 300 guests hostage, turning the night into a tense standoff. High above the chaos, a former soldier who now works as a window cleaner clings to the exterior of the building, suspended fifty storeys up. Her survival skills and stubborn resolve are put to the test as she pieces together a plan to reach the people trapped inside. With time running out and the rescue threadbare, she must improvise under pressure, driven by a personal stake that connects her to the hostages and to her own family.

Directed by Martin Campbell, Cleaner is based on an original screenplay by Matthew Orton, Simon Uttley and Paul Andrew Williams, released in 2025.

Early reviews flag the film as a taut thriller that uses a single location and aerial danger to probe duty, family ties, and moral choices under pressure. The central performance by Daisy Ridley anchors the relentless pace and grit.
