Jeff Bridges is on the run in action-thriller drama series The Old Man, which after releasing earlier this year in the US, has now arrived on Disney+ for UK audiences.

Dan Chase (Bridges) lives off the grid in Upstate New York after abruptly leaving the CIA, but when an assassin breaks into his home and tries to take him out, Chase must go into hiding and use all the skills he tried to leave behind to ensure his future.

While on the run, Chase is being hunted by a former protégé, FBI Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Harold Harper, played by John Lithgow (The Crown).
