Bridge of Spies

Set in 1957, Bridge of Spies is a fact-based story of how attorney Jim Donovan (Tom Hanks) came to be assigned as the public defender for Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), a Russian spy facing possible execution for espionage. The prosecution and judge want the appearance of a fair trial that holds up America’s ideals during the peak of the Cold War, but they don’t really care about whether it’s actually fair. Unfortunately for everyone, except perhaps Abel himself, Donovan cares. Rated PG-13. At Century Cinemas Del Monte, Maya Cinemas, Northridge Cinemas, Lighthouse Cinemas
