Insurance lawyer Tom Hanks reluctantly agrees to represent an accused Soviet spy being railroaded by the government during the Red Scare of the 1950s. The idealistic Hanks meets resistance even when he brings up valid reasons that the man is not being treated fairly. He wins the man's respect and friendship, even after he is sent to prison. Later, an American pilot shot down over Russia while spying also ends up in jail, and Hanks is assigned the task of negotiating a trade for the Russian spy. The period detail is impressive, but Spielberg's slick style, and huge budget, results in a glossy, artificial feel inappropriate for the material.
