Directed by three-time Academy Award-winning director Steven Spielberg, Bridge of Spies is the story of James Donovan (Tom Hanks), a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot. Screenwriters Matt Charman, Ethan Coen, and Joel Coen have woven this remarkable experience in Donovan’s life into a story inspired by true events that captures the essence of a man who risked everything. Bridge of Spies stars two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, three-time Tony Award winner Mark Rylance, Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan, and Academy Award nominee Alan Alda. The film is produced by Spielberg, Marc Platt, and Kristie Macosko Krieger.
