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.

Reviews Review created: 05/05/08 by: I loved this movie.Have watched it repeatedly;it never gets less exciting. The brilliance of the cat-and-mouse machinations is terrific!I really was not all that familiar with Robert Redford's work prior to this movie.Upon this performance alone,I have begun to look for movies he's in...I have not been disappointed! I recommend this to everyone! Review ID: 10000000006995823 Was this review helpful? Report this review Grabbing story, great shots, what more can one ask for? Redford excells at the role of the every-detail-noticing veteran. His style is amazing, his wit is sharp. Brad Pitt is the young, cocky rookie. The atmosphere is captured in a great way, especially in cold war berlin. It was a pretty bad movie the first time I saw it. The second time around, I was actually able to follow the story and not loose track in this complicated, yet intriguing spy game Review ID: 10000000006869472 Was this review helpful?
