Synopsis
Set in the 1970s, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY finds George Smiley
(Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 agent, doing his best to
adjust to a life outside the secret service. However, when a
disgraced agent reappears with information concerning a mole at the
heart of the Circus, Smiley is drawn back into the murky field of
espionage.
Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has
chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to
four suspects - all experienced, urbane, successful agents - but
past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to
pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British
establishment.
The screenplay is by Peter Straughan and Bridget O’Connor and the
film, which was shot in London, Budapest and Istanbul is produced by
Working Title’s co-chairmen Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner and Robyn
Slovo. The executive producers are Debra Hayward, Liza Chasin,

The spy thriller features a stellar cast including Gary Oldman,
Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Ciarán
Hinds, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Konstantin Khabensky, Svetlana
Khodchenkova, Roger Lloyd Pack, and Mark Strong. Directed by Tomas
Alfredson (LET THE RIGHT ONE IN) it is a Working Title production
