Spy Game is a 2001 American spy film directed by Tony Scott and starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. Set in 1991, the film depicts the governments of the U.S. and China on the verge of a major trade agreement, with the President of the United States due to visit China to seal the deal. The CIA learns that its agent Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt) has been captured trying to free an Englishwoman, Elizabeth Hadley (Catherine McCormack), from a Peoples Liberation Army prison in Su Chou near Shanghai. Bishop is being questioned under torture and will be executed in 24 hours unless he is claimed by the U.S. government. If the CIA claims Bishop as an agent, they risk jeopardizing the trade agreement. Exacerbating Bishops situation is the fact that he was operating without permission from the Agency. Attempting to deal quickly with the situation, CIA executives call in Nathan Muir (Robert Redford), an aging mid-level Case Officer on his last day before retirement and the man who recruited Bishop. youtube/watch?v=zBTiA9XvBU8
