When Eric O'Neill is promoted from a low-level surveillance job into the headquarters of the FBI, his dream of becoming a full-fledged agent is on the verge of reality. He is hand picked to work for the renowned operative Robert Hanssen within "information assurance," a new division created to protect all classified FBI intelligence. Eric quickly discovers the true reason for his hire: Hanssen is the sole subject of a long-term, top-secret investigation, a suspected mole made all the more dangerous by the sheer global import of the information he is charged with protecting. The Bureau asks Eric to slowly draw the traitor out of deep cover.

Breach submitted by ErinDurrett on March 16, 2010, 10:01am For those of you who enjoy movies based on true events, Breach is for you. Breach is based on the true story of what is considered to be the greatest security breach in US intelligence history. It is a film about Robert Hanssen (portrayed by Chris Cooper), a former top Russian analyst for the FBI, who turned traitor and started giving classified information to the Russians for financial pay-offs. Eric O'Neill (Ryan Phillippe), is an aspiring agent who gets assigned the task of watching Hanssen and reporting back to Agent Kate Burroughs (Laura Linney). If you have always wanted a career in intelligence and are addicted to intelligence films, like I am, this electrifying spy vs. spy thriller is a must see!
