Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio), one of the CIA's soldiers in the war on terrorism, is assigned an intense espionage mission to infiltrate the cell of a master terrorist (Alon Aboutboul). In order to get inside his network, Ferris hatches a dangerous and elaborate operation to flush him out into the open … and right into the hands of the CIA. Before setting his plan in motion, Ferris must win the backing of a cynical CIA veteran, Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe), and a wily, but suspect, Jordanian intelligence officer, Hani Salaam (Mark Strong). Although the two men appear to be his allies, Ferris questions if he can trust them or if they are putting his entire operation -- and his life -- in danger. (WATCH)
