Fantastic movie. I have watched this twice. Outstanding acting by Tom Hanks, as the lawyer, James Donovan and Mark Rylance, as Rudolf Abel. Based on a true story that took place during the time of the Cold War. Rudolf Able was convicted of espionage in 1957. Due to the skill of Donovan, his lawyer, he escaped the death penalty. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Frances Gary Powers was flying a U2 spy plane that was brought down over the Soviet Union in 1960. A prisoner exchange was negotiated by James Donovan.
