Doug Liman
Genres
Thriller
Overview
Follows two wildly mismatched CIA agents, the first daring and charismatic, and the other, a strait-laced strategist, who must work together to execute a top-secret mission: a treacherous journey across thousands of miles of enemy territory to covertly deliver arms. This is the untold true story of the first intelligence star ever awarded for one of the most important yet least known missions in modern history.
