Spoilers ahead
In the tension-filled backdrop of 1989 Berlin, just before the infamous fall of the Berlin Wall, MI6 agent James Gasciogne (Sam Hargrave) meets a tragic fate at the hands of KGB operative Yuri Bakhtin. Bakhtin not only murders Gasciogne but also steals a vital piece of intel known as the List — a microfilm hidden within a wristwatch, containing the identities of every active field agent in the Soviet Union. This crucial document was originally provided to Gasciogne by an informant code-named Spyglass, who had been promised immunity by MI6. With the potential to prolong the Cold War for four more decades, governments scramble to obtain it, and Bakhtin remains a persistent threat in Berlin.
