Salmon Fishing in the Yemen official trailer

The next day, Jones convinces the sheikh to give the farmed salmon a try. Although his science background tells him otherwise, Jones has faith that the salmon will instinctively swim upstream—a faith the sheikh finds ironic. Just then, a man hired by Yemeni radicals attempts to assassinate the sheikh, who is saved by Jones' quick thinking and accurate casting technique. Soon after, they return to the Yemen, where helicopters arrive carrying pods filled with salmon. Harriet and Jones continue to grow closer. After a moonlight swim, he asks her if there was a "theoretical possibility" of the two of them ending up together. She says yes, but will need some time. Meanwhile in London, Patricia learns that Harriet's boyfriend survived the Afghanistan operation. Realizing the PR potential of reuniting the couple at the upcoming press conference in Yemen, Patricia sets her plan in motion.            watch more

At their next meeting, Jones gives a presentation on what is needed for the project—including transporting by air thousands of salmon from British rivers to the Yemen at a cost of £50 million. Harriet takes his plan seriously and arranges for Jones to meet the "visionary" sheikh (Amr Waked) at his riverside estate in the Scottish Highlands. When Jones arrives, he is provided fishing gear, and soon the skeptical scientist feels at home. The sheikh is excited to meet Jones, the inventor of the "Willy Jones", a famous fishing fly. Acknowledging that the project may sound crazy, the sheikh still believes that fishing is a noble pursuit that promotes harmony among people. Later, when Jones claims to be a man of no faith, the sheikh points out that fishing requires immense faith in an outcome that is highly improbable

Renowned fisheries expert, Doctor Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor), receives an email from financial advisor Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Emily Blunt), seeking advice on a project to bring salmon fishing to the Yemen—a project being bankrolled by a wealthy Yemeni sheikh. Jones dismisses the project as "fundamentally unfeasable" because the Yemen cannot provide the necessary cold temperatures and water needed to sustain salmon. Meanwhile, the British Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary, Patricia Maxwell (Kristen Scott Thomas), frustrated by news accounts of an accidental mosque bombing in Afghanistan, instructs her team to find a positive story to help improve Anglo-Arab relations. Later, she suggests the salmon fishing story to the PM's office.              watch more
