Declassified documents confirm that superpowers came dangerously close to nuclear war in 1983!

10. wow. that is fascinating. I'll try to find Breach and watch it.

Bridge of Spies unfolds as the Berlin Wall is going up and the scene where you see the workers build it (along with watch tower manned by armed soldiers) really gave me the creeps. And it also goes to the design of his spy plane which is interesting. The scene where Powers plane was shot down is terrifying, even tho you know he is going to survive it.

The lawyer had to negotiate with two governments to get the Yale grad student as well as Powers. The poor grad student was just trying to reach his girlfriend and get her out before the wall was sealed and they nabbed him. He was no spy.

This is probably one of the most engrossing movies I have ever seen. Hanks is terrific and kinda looks his age.

I can see all kinds of awards going to this one...
