This is an awesome movie. It's a fictionalized account of real events that happened at the height of the cold war. Tom Hanks did his usual superb job portraying a lawyer pressed into service defending an accused soviet spy in court.
The movie not only captures the characters well, it captures the look and feel of the era. I highly recommend it.
