DESCRIPTION:
(from Warner Bros. Discovery's press release, May 2023) Spy Wars (w/t) - It's the early 1980s and the Cold War is reaching its dramatic climax. Mistrust, hostility and paranoia strain relations between the Soviet Union and the West, bringing them to the very edge of war. Keeping the fragile balance of power between the two sides is a secret network of spies. In the shadows, they wage a clandestine battle, using espionage, brinkmanship, and double agents in a bid to try and keep their leaders - Reagan, Thatcher and Gorbachev - one step ahead. Spy Wars (w/t), a co-production between CNN Original Series and BBC, will tell the hidden story of the real-life spies and traitors embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse, risking everything to ensure their own side gains the upper hand in this cutthroat battle for world domination. The series was commissioned by Simon Young, Head of History, BBC. |
