LOCATION:Eric Martin Pavilion :: 643-2334 Trent Street Victoria, V8R 4Z3
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>During the Cold War, the Soviet Union captures U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane. Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Powers' only hope is New York lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks), recruited by a CIA operative to negotiate his release. Donovan boards a plane to Berlin, hoping to win the young man's freedom through a prisoner exchange. If all goes well, the Russians would get Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), the convicted spy who Donovan defended in court. Gripping and amazingly, with some small story-telling licenses, quite true to the story. Pg13<br /><br />"Spielberg has taken an important but largely forgotten and hardly action-packed slice of the Cold War and turned it into a gripping character study and thriller that feels a bit like a John Le Carre adaptation if Frank Capra were at the controls" Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun Times.<br /><br />Cast: Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Scott Shepherd, Amy Ryan, Sebastian Koch, Alan Alda</p>
