A vintage movie poster of ''The Falcon and the Snowman'', 1985. The film is an American espionage thriller film directed by John Schlesinger. The movie is based on the true story of Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee, two young Americans who became spies for the Soviet Union during the 1970s. The film's title refers to their code names, with Boyce being "The Falcon" and Lee being "The Snowman."
Here's a brief overview of the plot:
Christopher Boyce (played by Timothy Hutton) is a young and idealistic employee at a defense contractor in California. He becomes disillusioned with the U.S. government's covert activities and decides to sell classified documents to the Soviet Union.
Boyce recruits his childhood friend, Andrew Daulton Lee (played by Sean Penn), to help him with his espionage activities. Lee is a drug user and is easily manipulated by Boyce into becoming his partner in espionage.
The two men begin stealing sensitive documents from Boyce's workplace and passing them on to the Soviets through their contacts at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico. They use dead drops and coded messages to communicate with their handlers.
As their espionage activities escalate, the FBI becomes aware of the security breach and launches an investigation led by Special Agent Ronald J. Reinhardt (played by Pat Hingle).
The tension rises as Boyce and Lee become increasingly paranoid and fearful of being caught. Their friendship is tested, and their lives spiral out of control.
The film explores themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the moral complexities of espionage.
"The Falcon and the Snowman" is a gripping and suspenseful thriller that delves into the real-life story of two young men who became unlikely spies. It explores the consequences of their actions and the impact on their lives and the people around them. The film received critical acclaim for its performances, especially those of Hutton and Penn, and for its portrayal of the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. It remains a notable entry in the espionage genre and is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Robert Lindsey.
