BRIDGE OF SPIES is based on the true-life Cold War entanglements of espionage between the Soviet Union and the United States of America, with an upstanding lawyer and family man, James B. Donovan caught between the two superpowers. Donovan was pivotal in negotiating the release of Air Force pilot Francis Gary Powers, whose U-2 spy plane was sighted and shot down while flying a stealth reconnaissance mission over Soviet territory. At the same time, Rudolf Abel, a KGB spy embedded in America, was convicted and imprisoned for espionage against the U.S. government. Donovan travels to a divided Berlin in efforts to broker an exchange of spies with the Soviets: Abel for Powers. Amblin
