During the Cold War, the Soviet Union captures U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane. Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Powers' only hope is New York lawyer James Donovan, recruited by a CIA operative to negotiate his release. Donovan boards a plane to Berlin, hoping to win the young man's freedom through a prisoner exchange. If all goes well, the Russians would get Rudolf Abel, the convicted spy who Donovan defended in court.

Reviews

Panagiotis Stavropoulos "Bridge of spies" is a quite nice movie that offers fine entertainment.However it lacks creativity and it's built upon cliches.

King-Rishab A good and refreshing spy thriller after a long long time, reminding of cold war movies of 60's and 70's. Its a period film and they have done the details nicely. Good acting by Tom Hanks and good direction by Spielberg. Tom Hanks performance is rock solid, earlier as a reluctant lawyer who takes up a thankless job and later also has a facilitator between CIA and KGB. He carries the whole movie on his shoulder. Tight screenplay and you don't even feel bored or you won't even like to leave it in between. We are missing these type of movies now a days. Watch it for Tom Hanks performance, for the way everything is set up.

donegalcat A well-made and acted but understated cold-war drama about the exchange of prisoners between the USA and the USSR in Germany.Tom Hanks is reliably good as the insurance lawyer James Donovan, drawn into cold-war intrigue, representing a Soviet spy Rudolf Abel in court. Mark Rylance gives a quiet, understated performance as the spy. Rylance is competent, but the performance is rather a surprising nod for an Oscar.After an American spy pilot is shot down over Soviet air space, much of the film is set in Berlin as Donovan negotiates with Soviet and East German authorities for the release of the pilot and an American student captured in East Berlin in exchange for Abel.The scene where the pilots plane is shot down, is poorly filmed with cheap special effects. But otherwise the film is well shot with excellent period detail and atmosphere. Although some of the scenes in East Berlin verge slightly on absurd, a hint of the Coen brothers influence as screenwriters for the film.Amy Ryan is largely wasted as Donovan's wife while the early scenes detailing Abels court case feel a bit short and underdeveloped. And the final scenes fall prey to Steven Spielberg's usual twee sensibilities. But overall, the film represents a decent notch in the well worn and capable partnership between Spielberg and Hanks.

scammeplease It's very slow, but still brilliant to say the least.
