In easy-to-understand terms, the award-winning spy drama “Bridge of Spies,” featuring Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance, has found a new platform for streaming in the United Kingdom.
Back in 2015, I had the pleasure of watching an extraordinary film, masterfully crafted by the one and only Steven Spielberg. This captivating tale, titled “Bridge of Spies,” portrays the gripping true story of James B Donovan, a distinguished lawyer who found himself at the epicenter of Cold War tensions in America.
In his recent endeavor, he aims to broker the freedom of a CIA operative, by offering as a bargaining chip Rudolf Abel, a U.S. resident who was imprisoned for espionage activities on behalf of the KGB back in 1957.
