Branagh is an arms dealer helping execute attacks from the future, smuggling in reverse-kinetic objects and backwards-moving people.  His abused wife is Debicki, the helpless woman only concerned for her child&#8217;s safety while the real men do all the work.  Those men are serious spy-dude Washington and his chill buddy Pattinson.  Bits of exposition via Dimple Kapadia, Michael Caine, and Martin Donovan!
