Summary:
The true story of a British businessman unwittingly recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history. Forming an unlikely partnership with a Soviet officer hoping to prevent a nuclear confrontation, the two men work together to provide the crucial intelligence used to defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis. "As the pressures on Wynne increase, and the missions become more dangerous, the spectacle of this average man trying to stay safe becomes riveting."--San Francisco Chronicle. "If there's such a thing as a Cold War Comfort Movie and let's say there is, The Courier fits the bill perfectly, ticking off many of the familiar boxes of the genre..."--Richard Roeper. "The Courier is almost two films in one: the second half is much darker and more intense than the first, but the shift is so delicately abrupt that at first you barely register it. That's part of the movie's edgily engaging artistry..."--Time Magazine.
