SYNOPSIS

Inspired by true events, Breach starring Ryan Phillppe, Chris Cooper and Laura Linney, is a dramatic thriller set inside the halls of the Federal Bureau of Investigation that serves as the gatekeeper to the most sensitive and volatile secrets of the USA.

In February 2001, renowned FBI operative Robert Hanssen was found guilty of treason against America.  Over a period of more than two decades, Hanssen systematically and deliberately sold his country’s key intelligence to the former Soviet Union. Academy Award® winner CHRIS COOPER (American Beauty, Adaptation) stars as Hanssen, one of the most notorious spies in the history of America.

RYAN PHILLIPPE (Crash, Flags of Our Fathers) joins Cooper, starring as Eric O’Neill, the young agent-in-training handpicked by the FBI to help draw Hanssen from his cover.
