Synopsis:

The true story of Christopher Boyce, a young All-American man whose job as a guard for sensitive documents shatters his faith in his country and leads him to a sometimes comic, sometimes chilling sideline as a spy for the Soviets, aided by his scruffy buddy, Daulton; it can't last, though, and the consequences are tremendous for Boyce and his family.

Academy Award winners Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn deliver superb performances in this real-life story laced with white-knuckle excitement. From Oscar winners John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy) and Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List) The Falcon and the Snowman is a thriller that 'sticks to your brain with the persistence of a wide-awake nightmare.

When defense-plant employee Chris Boyce (Hutton) uncovers documents that prove that the CIA is secretly coercing foreign governments his fast talking friend Daulton (Penn) convinces him to sell the information to the Soviets. But soon the stakes for both men spin out of control as their plans explode into international scandal!
