Why so much attention? Because the film is a modern day "Lord of the Rings" with a Hannibal Lector twist.
Mikael Blomkvist attempted to blow the whistle on a billionaire industrialist who was dabbling in the arms trade for "Millennium" magazine. After he is sentenced for to three months for libel, a set up to ruin the magazine seems apparent. In the publication's best interest, he has taken an indefinite leave of absence and will do his best to enjoy the sixth months before his sentence starts.
Lisbeth Salander is an enigmatic computer hacker who was assigned by former industrialist Henrick Vanger to verify the investigative credentials of Blomkvist. Both she and Vanger's associates feel that he is beyond straight laced and that he could not have committed the crime he was convicted for. Vanger decides to offer a means to earn a living before he heads to prison. The task is to find out who murdered his niece Harriet 40 years prior.
The only lead that Mikael has is phone numbers and names in the back of Harriet's bible. Neither he or the police can make sense of these, but fortunately Lisbeth is trying to prove his innocence. That means she is still hacking him to find out every possible detail, and she cannot help but crack the code presented despite it will expose her. Mikael was desperate for that break, so he decides that he will need to bring Lisbeth into the investigation. As they search for answers, more and more of themselves will be found out about each other. With their own drama developing, will they be able to stay focused on the task at hand.
