We watched this last night.
Benedict Cumberbatch (what a name) plays a rea life salesman Greville Wynne who is approached by MI6 and the CIA to infiltrate Russia during the Cold War. The information he obtained led to the discovery of missiles being built in Cuba that began the Bay of Pigs.
A good movie, mostly well done and captivating. I think the movie could have been better if it delved deeper into the events that took place, especially Greville's capture by the KGB.
But overall well worth watching.
Currently free on Prime Video.

Benedict Cumberbatch (what a name)

I've never told anybody, but my real name is Throckmorton Bandercoot.

No wonder you never told anybody. Ben's name was Tom Smythe before he changed it. The movie is good.

Pretty decent film overall, with a great ending. Since it is based on a true story, and has a wonderful actor in Cumberbatch as the lead, I decided to watch it. Starts out slow but gains momentum till the end.
