Bridge Of Spies - US Trailer

In 1960, the hard work of many good people was tested greatly. The height of the Cold War was set to see a series of peaceful negotiation between the Americans and Russians, but a week beforehand, everything changed. An American spy plane was shot down by Russian missiles, carrying pictures of various Russian air force bases. While the US government tried to deny the charges, the Russians were able to provide the pictures, the airplane wreckage, and the pilot - miraculously unharmed. In exchange for his return, they wanted one of their captured spies to be returned. James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks), a simple lawyer, was tasked with creating a case to allow the US government to release the Soviet spy without jail time - a request that seemed almost impossible in the face of Cold War prejudice.

Director Steven Spielberg is set to bring the true story of the 1960 U-2 incident in the form 'Bridge of Spies', written by Matt Charman ('Suite Française') and The Coen Brothers ('No Country for Old Men'), based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Giles Whittell. The film is set for release on the UK on 9th October 2015, and the US on 16th October 2015.
