Brad Pitt is reunited as a co-star with his
A River Runs Through It (1992) director
Robert Redford for this espionage
thriller from
Tony Scott. On the verge of retirement from the Central Intelligence Agency, veteran spy
Nathan Muir (
Redford) learns that his one-time protégé
Tom Bishop (
Pitt) has gone rogue and been taken prisoner after attempting to smuggle a prisoner out of China. Although
Muir and
Bishop had once been close friends, sharing adventures from Vietnam to Berlin, bad blood and resentment developed between them, and the two men haven't seen each other in years. As his memories of their friendship come flooding back,
Muir sets about arranging the rescue of his old friend from a Communist jail.
Spy Game (2001) co-stars
Catherine McCormack as a human rights activist and
Bishop's love interest.
