Bridge of Spies

The Dramatic Events Behind The Film Bridge Of Spies. Bridge Of Spies Is A Gripping, Entertaining, Hair-raising And Comical Story, Which Moves Effortlessly From The Hardware Of High-flying Planes And New Missiles To The Geopolitics Of The Nuclear Stand-off And Through The Poignant Personal Stories Of Its Central Protagonists: Powers, The All-american Hero, Blacklisted For Not Having Killed Himself On His Descent To Earth; A Kgb Spy Who Has Spent Aimless And Lonely Years Achieving Nothing In The Us; And The Opposing Leaders Khrushchev And Eisenhower, Both Trapped In A Spiral Of Confrontation Neither Wants. Telling The True Story That Inspired Le Carré's Famous Scene, Bridge Of Spies Is A Brilliant Take On The Absurdity And Heroism Of The Cold War Days That Will Appeal To A New Generation Of Readers Unfamiliar With The History But Drawn In By The Compelling And Vividly Recreated Narrative.
