CIA operative Nathan Muir (Redford) is on the brink of retirement when he
finds out that his protege Tom Bishop (Pitt) has been arrested in China
for espionage. No stranger to the machinations of the CIA's top
echelon, Muir hones all his skills and irreverent manner in order to
find a way to free Bishop. As he embarks on his mission to free Bishop,
Muir recalls how he recruited and trained the young rookie, at that
time a sergeant in Vietnam, their turbulent times together as
operatives and the woman who threatened their friendship.
