Robert
Redford
stars
as
veteran
CIA
agent
Nathan
Muir
in
this
thriller
from
Tony
Scott
(TOP
GUN,
ENEMY
OF
THE
STATE).
Set
in
1991,
Muir
expects
his
last
day
before
retirement
to
be
an
easy
one.
Instead,
he
finds
that
his
protégé,
Tom
Bishop
(Brad
Pitt),
is
being
held
on
espionage
charges
in a
Chinese
prison
will
be
executed
in
24
hours.
A
seasoned
agent,
Muir
has
played
spy
games
for
a
long
time
and
quickly
realizes
that
the
CIA
may
not
be
acting
in
Bishop's
best
interest.
Even
as
an
agency
committee
is
grilling
Muir,
he
is
secretly
working
to
secure
his
former
charge's
freedom.
Action-packed
flashbacks
establish
the
relationship
between
the
two
men:
their
first
meeting
during
the
Vietnam
War,
Muir's
recruitment
of
Bishop
following
the
war,
Bishop's
training
and
early
missions
in
Berlin,
and
an
important
operation
in
Beirut.
Similarly,
the
flashbacks
trace
the
evolution
of
Bishop
from
an
eager,
brand-new
agent
in
1975
to a
disillusioned
veteran
in
the
mid-1980s
who
is
at
odds
with
his
mentor,
Muir.
This
last
layer
of
conflict
adds
extra
suspense
to
SPY
GAME,
as
Muir
must
decide
whether
to
help
his
old
friend
or
take
the
easy
way
out.
