Rogue One follows Jyn Erso, the daughter of a scientist captured by the Imperial military to create a devastating weapon. After evading capture herself, Jyn grows up alone with a deep hatred of the Imperials. However, after falling foul of the Rebellion, Jyn agrees to join forces and help them find her father.
