Film Overview

In 1976 Hollywood, two rising film producers are on the brink of stardom after their Cold War spy thriller becomes an unexpected success. But their celebration unravels when their reclusive screenwriter mysteriously disappears. As strange coincidences start to happen, the producers realize the screenplay’s “fictional” details may match classified intelligence. Caught between the glitz of the movie business and the shadows of real espionage, they must race to uncover the truth before their careers—and their lives—fade to black.
