Bridge of Spies

“In the shadow of war, one man showed the world what we stand for.”

In the Cold War, a Soviet missile brings down the U-2 spy plane of American pilot Francis Gary Powers. The CIA turns to New York lawyer James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks), who had defended the captured spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) in court, and sends him to Berlin to negotiate a prisoner exchange. Steven Spielberg follows Donovan there, a man in a good overcoat, in a city of checkpoints.
