Bridge of Spies

"Bridge of Spies" was directed by Steven Spielberg, written by Matt Charman and Ethan and Joel Coen and stars Tom Hanks in the role of a Brooklyn attorney called upon to seek the release of Francis Gary Powerr, the U-2 pilot whose surveillance plane was shot down by the Russians and who then became their prisoner. The film not only tells of the  personal mission of Mr. Hanks’ character  but, in addition, shows in great detail, the circumstances many of us can recall in the late 1050’s, the cold war that existed in those years and the tensions that could have easily accelerated and ignited a nuclear third world war.. I give the film 3 and 1//2 stars and urge all who enjoy a good bio history drama to see it as soon as possible
