The Courier

Based on the incredible true story of a businessman turned spy.

In this true-life Cold War spy thriller, unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) becomes entangled in one of the greatest international conflicts in history. Recruited by MI6 and a CIA operative (Rachel Brosnahan), Wynne forms a covert partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze), and both men risk everything in a danger-fraught race against time to provide the intelligence needed to prevent nuclear confrontation and end the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Academy Award-nominated actor Benedict Cumberbatch leads a number of top-shelf performances in this twisty, true story of espionage in plain sight set during the backdrop of the Cold War. Although there have been a number of spy stories set during this period, this carefully measured thriller brings to light a transformative story that is not well known, leaving the outcome in question until the end.
