This was part of a Christmas gift consisting of a whole bunch of DVD's (I am talking complete premium series as well as movies) for my husband & he said "Bridge of Spies" was terrific. He &, for that matter, I had no idea it was based on a true story. I have not, as yet, seen it because our DVD player in the house won't play grrrr....... My guy was thrilled with his Christmas & has spent the better part of January in his man cave watching all of his DVD's........My kind of quiet time for me since he retired.....LMBO

It's a period piece made during the 1957 era with the Cold War and espionage at the center of the movie. The level of realism is impressive right down to the gigantic Cadillacs and hats worn by almost all men (I never realized how popular that style of hat was. ) Without giving away the whole premise, I can vouch for the authenticity of both the main and minor characters having researched each one in an encyclopedia. Apparently, it all really did happen including the prisoner exchange on the Glenekia bridge and Checkpoint Charlie. Good performances by all actors give an added level of suspense and realism to the entire film. You may want to watch it several times to absorb all the fine attention to detail, so better to buy the DVD than rent. Unlike so many other minor productions, "Bridge of Spies" is actually trending up in price.Read full review

A great storyline and a perfect script. Spielberg's attention to detail is at it's finest. Worth watching several times.

Usually, anything Tom Hanks does is going to be excellent. This movie is no exception. Mr. Spielberg really captured the 50's in this movie. As a product of the 50's, I felt that I was in the time period. Great movie. What a team Spielberg and Hank's.

I would give it 5 stars except that it is "Inspired " by real events but not a documentary. I would suggest reading the book with the same Title

Watched this movie on a premium channel once and I was captured by the story portrayed. Immediately I looked it up in eBay. Glad I did cause I can watch it as many times as I want to.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my hubby (I buy early). We've seen it before and he liked it. I'm typically not big on war movies, but we had enjoyed it together. A friend was talking about it one day and mentioned it was good. Remembering it, I then decided to buy it since we'd liked it. Hanks is a good actor and we've enjoyed many of his other movies.
