What Happens in Turks and Caicos?

Loose-limbed spy Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy), last seen whistleblowing at MI5 in Page Eight, has a new life. He is hiding out in Ray-Bans on the Caribbean islands of the title (Turks and Caicos). Typically seen eating lobster and calling himself Tom Eliot (he’s a poet at heart), he’s soaking up bliss and peace.

We’re drawn into his world and his predicament when Curtis Pelissier (Christopher Walken) strolls in. He’s a shadowy American who claims to know Johnny. The encounter forces Johnny into the company of some ambiguous American businessmen. They claim to be on the islands for a conference on the global financial crisis. 

One falls into the sea, and their PR, Melanie Fall (Winona Ryder), clearly knows more than she’s admitting. Worricker soon learns the extent of their shady activities. He must act quickly to survive when links to British Prime Minister Alec Beasley (Ralph Fiennes) come to light.

Why We Love Turks and Caicos

British spies, slow-burn espionage, and Caribbean sunsets —- what more could you want from a spy movie?

If you liked Page Eight (2011), then you’ll love Turks and Caicos (2014). Its sleek, tense, and mysterious vibe gives us all the things we love about classic British spy mysteries. And if you’re bored of the typical London or American setting, this one will surprise you with a tropical twist. Let's tuck into all the best bits about Turks and Caicos that we love: 

  • Directed by David Hare: Turks and Caicos has that signature slow-burn style that Hare delivers all too well.
  • Bill Nighy is the moment: Smooth, charming Johnny Worricker is brought to you by Bill Nighy — it just makes sense. 
  • Packs a tropical punch: Island vibes and political mystery are an unlikely combo that we’re here for.
  • Endless talent: Winona Ryder, Christopher Walken, Bill Nighy, and Ralph Fiennes all in the same film? Yes, please.
  • Smart and sharp: What this movie lacks in explosive action it makes up for in clever mind games and suspense.
  • Gripping political themes: If you think politics is boring, this film will definitely change your perspective. 
  • Gimmick-free: Turks and Caicos is a cringe-free, gimmick-free film with an intelligent and sophisticated plot.

Where Can I Stream Turks and Caicos in Australia?

Buy or rent Turks and Caicos on Amazon Video, Apple TV, Microsoft Store, and Google Play. It’s not available on subscription just yet with any of the main streaming platforms, but keep an eye out.

Is Turks and Caicos a Film Series? 

Yep, Turks and Caicos is one of three movies in the Worricker Trilogy. The first movie in the trilogy is Page Eight (2011). Turks and Caicos (2014) is the second movie and Salting the Battlefield (2014) is the third. If you’re after a thrilling spy series for your movie marathon, the Worricker Trilogy is a brilliant choice. 

Is Turks and Caicos a Good Film for Kids? 

With all the politics, violence, alcohol intake, and mild nudity, it’s not a film youngsters will enjoy. It is rated TV-PG, so it's technically okay for kids to watch. But, it's much too sophisticated for younger minds. If you want a more lighthearted and easily watchable spy film for kids, why not play Spy Kids (2001)?

Is Turks and Caicos a True Spy Story?

It’s not directly based on any kind of true story or person. While many of the themes and topics seem pretty realistic, Turks and Caicos is actually all made up. If you’re after a spy movie that’s based on real happenings, films like Argo (2012) and Bridge of Spies (2015) will hit the spot.
