AceShowbiz - "Bridge of Spies" gets the first trailer. Tom Hanks plays an insurance lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot (Austin Stowell).
Hanks' James Donovan is recruited to negotiate a prisoner swap with a captured Soviet spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance). "I'm not sure I want to pick that up," the lawyer says. At another point, he says, "Is there any outcome here where I'm not either detained or shot?"
Inspired by a true story during the Cold War in 1950s, "Bridge of Spies" will hit North American theaters on October 16. Directed by Steven Spielberg from the script by Matt Charman and the Coen brothers, it is supported by Amy Ryan, Scott Shepherd, Sebastian Koch, and Alan Alda.
