In 1962 at the height of the Cold War, ex-soldier and convicted thief Harry Palmer is recruited to an unorthodox British spy unit and tasked with retrieving a missing scientist.

Harry's journey will take him and his partner to the wrong side of Berlin, the risky hedonism of Beirut, and the blinding light of a Pacific H-bomb test - before eventually landing him an unwitting role in a violent political conspiracy.

Based on the renowned novel by Len Deighton.
