Synopsis

In 1957, lawyer James B. Donovan is recruited from his prestigious law firm to defend accused Soviet spy Rudolf Abel. It's an unenviable task in many respects. Donovan hasn't practiced criminal law since he was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials after World War II. Also, the strong anti-Communist mood at the time makes him a target from who think Abel should just be executed.

Abel is convicted but Donovan convinces the judge to sentence him to prison, rather than execute him, as they may at some point in the future want to swap him for an American spy the Soviets might have in custody. Just such a scenario comes into play when in 1960 U-2 spy pilot Francis Gary Powers is shot down over Soviet territory and taken prisoner.

Donovan is again recruited to act as the intermediary and negotiate swapping Able for the American requiring him to travel to East Berlin crossing the newly built Berlin Wall.

One aspect that stood out to me was how the music seamlessly shifted between moments of quiet contemplation and intense action sequences, effectively reflecting the evolving narrative of espionage, diplomacy, and moral choices faced by the characters.

The orchestration felt uninspired and failed to enhance the emotional depth of key scenes. The music often felt like background noise rather than a crucial element in driving the narrative forward. It did not succeed in creating a sense of urgency or significance during pivotal moments in the plot.
