Synopsis/Details
Before Sam Fisher became a legend of the shadows, he was a lone mercenary navigating a world soaked in secrets and betrayal. Splinter Cell: The Beginning is an unofficial prequel to the acclaimed video game series, delving into the untold origins of America's most elite covert operative.
Haunted by his past and driven by a fading moral compass, Sam is recruited for a final, off-the-books mission: neutralise Saliem, a radical extremist plotting a nuclear attack that threatens to ignite religious and political chaos across the globe. As Sam infiltrates a derelict clothing factory turned terrorist stronghold, he uncovers a deeper conspiracy—one that connects to his personal life and the very people he thought he could trust.
Along the way, Sam reunites with Ella, a former comrade with unresolved feelings, and faces heartbreaking decisions about his daughter Sarah and the life he could have had. But in this world, peace comes at a price. When betrayal strikes from the shadows, and an unexpected sniper ally intervenes, Sam must choose between vengeance and survival.
Packed with tense stealth action, emotional stakes, and the philosophical depth that defines the Splinter Cell universe, The Beginning offers a gripping, grounded origin story that redefines Sam Fisher’s legacy—before the Third Echelon ever existed.
