A gripping drama chronicling the true story of the detection of one of the greatest spy scandals in US history; young FBI wannabe Eric O'Neill is assigned to keep an eye on the veteran analyst, devout family man and cookie Christian Robert Hanssen, whose crimes, he is told, are probably merely a rapacious appetite for pornography.

We follow our likeable hero from the 1940 winter war against the Soviets in Finland through to the 1945 defeat of the Bosch. We observe his guilt at his own survival while his mates are killed in the struggle and, we learn of his own high risk manoeuvres - the mining of two German ships being a classic set piece. find out more...
