Bridge of Spies
Oscar-nominated Cold War thriller.

Nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Screenplay, the fourth collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks is a subtle Cold War thriller that owes a strong debt to classics of the genre. Hanks plays James Donovan, a lawyer from New York who must defend a captured Soviet spy (an excellent Mark Rylance).

Spielberg and Hanks ably balance a raw sense of sentimentality and justice mixed with the cold edge of John le Carré-style paranoia..
