The Billion Dollar Spy plot

"Trust no one but the enemy"

During the Cold War, CIA agent Tom Lenihan, working in Moscow, is approached by Soviet engineer Adolf Tolkachev. Tom bonds with the Russian, who ostensibly only wants to help his family escape the corruption within the Soviet Union. Tom’s trust in Tolkachev is rewarded when the Russian hands over a trove of military secrets, obtained using classic espionage techniques. Together, they manage to change the balance of power, but their success in evading the KGB comes at the cost of both men and their marriages with their wives, all of whom struggle with the daily paranoia of getting caught.
