Alec Leamas is tired. It’s the 1960s, he’s been out in the cold for years, spying in the shadow of the Berlin Wall for his British masters. He has seen too many good agents murdered for their troubles. Now Control wants to bring him in at last – but only after one final assignment.
A classic movie adapted from the book which arguably framed the world's understanding of the Cold War as something grey and grim, conducted by fallible people with no better knowledge of the truth than anyone else. Stunning.
