A humanitarian lawyer rushed between the superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union, pulling a thin red line for the looming Cold War. Watching Spielberg make this kind of main theme movie, you know that there will be no surprises, and you have to worship under the supervision of the director’s textbook. The irony is that the college has not waited for this orthodox college style in recent years (haha, I ask you to do it)...

During the Cold War, hostages were exchanged through negotiations, and there was no specific spy war. It is indeed a good story, with many characters but not chaotic, and clear (not even chaotic...), but at the same time it also has the typical advantages and disadvantages of old academic movies. For example, the actors are very good and the visuals of the film are outstanding. , The beginning is particularly good, but the protagonist is a bit too perfect, a very cold and cruel story ends up with a bit of the main theme and so on...

Agent Williams: [speaking to spy plane pilots] What you know about the plane is as secret as the plane itself. If capture is a foregone conclusion, you go down with your plane. Now, if you think you can ditch and get away, if you're close enough to a border, fine. You know the ejection protocol. But if you ditch, you bring the dollar with you.
[shows a silver disc]
Agent Williams: All right, there's a pin inside.
[removes a pin]
Agent Williams: You scratch your skin anywhere, it's instantaneous. If you think you are about to be captured, you use it. Drivers, you understand me?
Agent Williams: Spend the dollar.

Allen Dulles: Best that this all remains confidential. Let's not discuss any of this with Mary or with anyone else. Share the correspondence only with us. Let us know what they want to do and when.
James Donovan: I've got no client, no wife, no country. Don't know what I'm doing or when - or who for.
Allen Dulles: You're doing it for your country, but your country doesn't know that yet.
James Donovan: What about my client, the other person in this equation? My guy.
Allen Dulles: Your guy? You mean the Russian? He's not your guy anymore, Counselor. Your guy is Francis Gary Powers now.
James Donovan: What do I tell Rudolf Abel?
Allen Dulles: Tell him not to drop dead.
