“Inheritance” is a 2025 American espionage action film directed by Neil Burger, featuring Phoebe Dynevor and Rhys Ifans in leading roles. The film was released in the United States on January 24, 2025.
The story centers on Maya (Phoebe Dynevor), a young woman who, after her mother’s death, discovers that her estranged father, Sam (Rhys Ifans), was once a spy.

Neil Burger co-wrote the screenplay with Olen Steinhauer. The film was produced by Miramax and is notable for its unique production approach: it was filmed entirely on an iPhone. This guerrilla-style shooting allowed the crew to travel lightly and capture scenes spontaneously across various international locations, including New York City, Delhi, Seoul, and Cairo.
