The CoolEST Cold War.....

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2016)

*Spoiler/plot- Bridge of Spies 2015. During the 1950's Cold War, a Russian spy is caught and convicted. An American insurance lawyer is asked to protect the Russian criminal during his court proceedings and re-repatriation (Spy swap) back to the Soviets for an American shot down U2 spy plane pilot and a American student.
*Special Stars- Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance. DIR Steven Spielberg.
*Theme- Espionage is a dirty and changeable business.
*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W European. Shot in Berlin Germany. Based on true historical facts. Oscar nominated and won for best supporting male actor that portrayed the Soveit spy. Be sure to watch the film epilogue that also connects the principle people useful in the Cuban 'Bay of Pigs' disaster and prisoner swap.
*Emotion- More of an enjoyable 'who-done-it' with some spy overtones. Some great character acting to make the roles very believable and interesting. The film scenes are lush and draws the viewer into the time, intrigue, and foreign places. Simple and colorful humor in the dialog banter makes these roles human. A wonderful epic with a message about international relations.
*Based On- True story events of the Francis Gary Powers spy plane shoot down in the 50's between USA and Soviets countries.
