Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and Tom Hardy lead an all star cast in a sensational, spy thriller, which is a film adaptation of John Le Carré's best-seller of the same name.
George Smiley, a recently retired MI6 agent, he makes honorable efforts to adapt to his new life, outside the secret services. When a corrupt agent will make his appearance again, informing that there is a "stud" in their circles, Smiley will be forced to re-enter the grim world of espionage. His mission… to investigate which of his former trusted associates, betrayed both himself and his country. His investigation will focus on four suspects – all of whom are experienced and successful agents – but past enmities and friendships, they will make it difficult to identify what is eroding the integrity of the British service from within.
The book, on which the film is based, published in Greek by Kastaniotis publications, entitled "And the Lot Fell on Smiley".
