In the 2016 film the Infiltrator Bryan Cranston stars as US Customs agent Robert Mazur. Robert and his team of agents go deep undercover to infiltrate the dangerous world of Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel. Their work leads to the arrest of some of Escobar’s top importers and the collapse of a multinational bank that laundered their dirty money.

In the Oscar winning movie ARGO, Ben Affleck immortalizes CIA legend Tony Mendez, who masterminded the escape of six diplomats from revolutionary Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis by dressing them us a Canadian film crew. But by placing the CIA firmly as the heroes, Hollywood overlooks the vital role played by another group in helping coordinate the brilliant escape plan – the Canadians themselves. This is the REAL STORY OF… how a small group of diplomats from Canada risked their lives by housing the escapees in a dangerous city, breaking every rule of diplomacy to help sneak the disguised Americans out of Iran… in broad daylight.

Robert Hanssen is a contradiction. On the surface he is a family man, devout Catholic, and career FBI agent. Secretly, he is a spy, betraying the trust of everyone he knows. In the final years of the Cold War, Hanssen positions himself within the FBI to spy for the Soviets, compromising sources and programs through the entire US counterintelligence community. While the FBI and CIA search for the mole in their midst, his fellow agents, friends, and family have no clue of his second life. His betrayal runs deeper that selling out his country as he is carrying on secret relationships and keeping secrets from his wife. But Hanssen can’t hide forever from the best detectives in the world. Former FBI agents and journalists recount Hanssen’s life, what drew him to espionage, how he stayed hidden in plain sight for over 20 years, and the events that brought down the most damaging spy in American history.
