When a CIA U-2 spy plane is shot down in service over the Soviet Union, American pilot Francis Gary Powers escapes only to be immediately captured by Russians.  

Lawyer James Donovan is tasked with the seemingly impossible mission of negotiating Powers’ release from his captors and is unwittingly thrust right into the epicentre of the Cold War.

Bridge of Spies stars Tom Hanks (The Da Vinci Code, Forrest Gump) as James Donovan and Amy Ryan (Birdman, Gone Baby Gone) as his wife, Mary.

Austin Stowell (Whiplash, Behind the Candelabra) plays the part of Francis Gary Powers with support from Alan Alda (The Aviator) and Sebastian Koch (A Good Day to Die Hard).
