'We are engaged in a war with the Soviet Union,' a voiceover in the new trailer ominously reports. 'This war for the moment does not involve men at arms; it involves information.' The clip sets up the 1960 U-2 incident in which a US spy plane was shot down over Soviet territory which the American government tried to cover up as a NASA accident, but were forced into an embarrassing admission when it later emerged the pilot had been captured alive. The trailer also shows the arrest of Soviet spy Rudolph Abel - played by Mark Rylance - who was caught passing information in hollowed out nickels in 1957.
