- Synopsis:
Fact-based story about a 90's espionage case that was chronicled as the worst case of espionage in US history. Aldrich Ames (Timothy Hutton) was a middle class CIA agent, whose problems with alcohol and general ineptness had kept him from rising further in the ranks of the agency. Nonetheless he ran an indispensable effort recruiting Soviet double-agents and tracking their whereabouts. Faced with rising bills and an extravagant wife (Elizabeth Peña), who finds ways to run up major bills, Aldrich finds himself far in debt and trying to find a way out.
