Netflix's APOSTLE Starring Dan Stevens & Michael Sheen Trailer

London, 1905. Prodigal son Thomas Richardson ( Dan Stevens ) has returned home, only to learn that his sister is being held for ransom by a religious cult. Determined to get her back at any cost, Thomas travels to the idyllic island where the cult lives under the leadership of the charismatic Prophet Malcolm ( Michael Sheen ).
