The Company

Three idealistic young college friends are recruited into the spy business, Jack McAuliffe (Chris O’Donnell) and Leo Kritzky (Alessandro Nivola) working for the CIA and Yevgeny Tsipin (Rory Cochrane) working for the KGB. Years later, they find themselves on the opposite side of the Cold War as Jack and his mentor, The Sorcerer (Alfred Molina), seek out a mole who has been disrupting their missions. But when they finally have the mole cornered thanks to a series of complicated deceptions by The Sorcerer, intelligence expert James Jesus Angleton (Michael Keaton) isn’t convinced they have the right man and comes close to derailing their efforts. Meanwhile, when Jack is assigned to work with a beautiful ballerina and spy named Lili (Alexandra Maria Lara), he develops a strong emotional attachment to her, putting both his mission and her life in danger.

1956. The CIA sends Jack to Hungary at the dawn of a violent revolution. Three years later, the job takes him to Cuba to attempt to oust communist dictator Fidel Castro.

A cat-and-mouse thriller that is set in motion when a Russian defector claims to have evidence identifying Sasha, the mole within the CIA ranks. James Jesus Angleton (Michael Keaton) pounces on this information and sets his sights on a prime suspect, none other than a high-ranking leader in the CIA. While Angleton begins a grueling, torturous interrogation, certain beyond all doubt that he has found his man, Jack (Chris O’Donnell) is put into a tough position of deciding who he can trust. Meanwhile, the Cold War comes to a climax when a power struggle within the Soviet Union becomes extremely volatile just as KGB head Starik (Ulrich Thomsen) is ready to put his endgame plan into action, a plan he hopes will bring the American economy to its knees.
