Plot Summary

Charismatic and complex, Sergio Vieira de Mello (Wagner Moura) has spent the majority of his storied career as a top UN diplomat working in the world's most unstable regions, deftly navigating deals with presidents, revolutionaries, and war criminals for the sake of protecting the lives of ordinary people. But just as he readies himself for a simpler life with the woman he loves (Ana de Armas), Sergio takes one last assignment - in Baghdad, newly plunged into chaos following the US invasion. The assignment is meant to be brief, until a bomb blast causes the walls of the UN headquarters to come literally crashing down upon him, setting into motion a gripping life-or-death struggle. Inspired by a true story, SERGIO is a sweeping drama focused on a man pushed to his physical and emotional limits as he's forced to confront his own divisive choices about ambition, family, and his capacity to love. Written by Netflix

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Due to practical reasons, filmmakers weren't able to shoot in East Timor. The solution they found was to bring around 24 East Timoreses along with their clothing and fabrics to film in Thailand; completing with extras from Timor who were already in the country, thus bringing the total close to 50. Senhorinha was one of those people, and her scenes were based on a real life encounter Sergio had with a woman from Central Asia in a refugees camp. The actress had also lost her loved ones in the civil war. Even though they were following a script, their dialogue was not rehearsed so the scene was largely improvised and Wagner Moura actually cried during filming. See more »
Goofs At about 1 hour into the film, when Sergio is visiting his mother's house, the blue edition of the book "Einstein" by Walter Isaacson can be seen on the bookcase. This scene takes place in the 1990s, Isaacson's book was published in 2007. See more »
