There’s some moments from the first trailer here, but there’s a slew of new footage that really digs into the meat of this captivating story, showing off plenty of what promises to be another stirring performance from Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can and Saving Private Ryan star as a man thrust into a precarious and dangerous situation in unfamiliar territory.

This trailer definitely gives us a better idea of the international tension happening at the time of the story, not to mention providing more insight into just what our captured spy was doing before he was apprehended.
Just going by this trailer, it seems like Steven Spielberg has crafted a sharp thriller, the kind that Hollywood doesn’t seem to make that often anymore. Tom Hanks looks to deliver another award-worthy performance for his role in this shaky negotiation between the United States and Russia.
