Men Who Hate Women (Swedish: Män som hatar kvinnor) is a is a 2009 Swedish film directed by Niels Arden Oplev. It is based on the award-winning novel of the same name (marketed in English as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his "Millennium Trilogy".
Plot
In the opening of the movie, Mikael Blomkvist, a middle-aged publisher for the magazine Millennium,loses a libel case brought by corrupt Swedish industrialist Hans-Erik Wennerström.
Nevertheless, he is hired by Henrik Vanger, the aged former CEO of a group of companies owned by a wealthy dynasty, in order to solve a cold case - the disappearance, some forty years previously, of Vanger's great-niece when she was sixteen. Blomkvist is helped by Lisbeth Salander, an asocial punk who has been victimized by authorities throughout her whole life. By accident she meets Blomkvist and the unlikely couple become another classic detective pair where the hunters become the hunted.
