Bridge of Spies (2015)

Before the diplomatic prisoner swap on the Glienicke Bridge, insurance lawyer James B. Donovan mounts an unyielding legal defence for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel. Donovan builds his strategy on Fourth Amendment protections, challenging search warrants, warrantless seizures and procedural overreach by federal agents. Even in the face of public hostility, he insists that constitutional procedure must bind the state when prosecuting an enemy operative.
