Devotion, loyalty, and truth. All are necessary for a successful marriage, but in the world of espionage, they are all complex, as Steven Soderbergh's Black Bag explains. Kathryn St. Jean (Cate Blanchett) and George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender) are an exception. Their marriage has endured in a trade based on deceit. They, like everyone else, have stuff they can't disclose with each other—"black bag" is the tradecraft abbreviation for such material—but they are completely devoted to each other, unlike others who let their everyday lies seep into their daily lives.
George is assigned to identify a mole in MI6 and is given a list of possibilities. George has a reputation for using the polygraph as a weapon and his own intellect to see through any lies. One of the names is Kathryn. George now has to choose between his wife and his nation while sorting through the information and misunderstandings to find out who the mole really is.
Secrets, spies, and suspense. 🎥 Black Bag is the thriller you've been waiting for.
