00:06we are engaged in a war
00:10in the late 1950s
00:12right in the middle of the cold war
00:14a russian spy rudolf abel
00:16was captured by the fbi
00:22the bar association went to james donovan
00:25and convinced him to take on
00:27the defense of rudolf abel
00:28we want you to defend him
00:30i'm an insurance lawyer i haven't done criminal work in years
00:34james b donovan
00:35he was what you would call the stand-up
00:37kind of guy
00:38the stands up for what he believes
00:41which is justice for all
00:42everyone deserves a defense
00:44have you represented many accused spies
00:47this will be a first for the both of us
00:50you're gonna be taking pictures
00:52over soviet territory
00:57they've got our spy pilot
00:59we've got their guy
01:00we want you to negotiate the swap
01:02where do they want this negotiation to take place
01:05east berlin
01:06i thought tom was the obvious choice to play james donovan
01:10this was our fourth movie together
01:12and the movies that i made with steven were very different one from the other you know
01:16saving private ryan was this emotional piece of historical documentation
01:23the terminal was looking at american behavior at this time
01:28and catch me if you can
01:30it was a dogged pursuit
01:31that was fascinating
01:32so when i read bridge of spies
01:35i just knew well steven's gonna have a field day here
01:38we need to have the conversation
01:40our governments can't
01:41we need this to be an exchange
01:43no
01:44two cameras here
01:45one over
01:46they both love film
01:48and they both love history
01:51tom is the perfect collaborator
01:53he adds so much to the movie
01:55i'm very comfortable coming to work with steven
01:59and showing him what i've got
02:01he's the boss
02:02but he's listening and seeing what i'm bringing to him
02:06we are not leaving him here
02:07they really bring out the best in one another
02:10you should be careful
02:18there are a lot of people who doesn't want this
02:20don't that would take place
02:33we need to life
