In the bleak days of the Cold War, espionage veteran George Smiley is forced from semi-retirement to uncover a Soviet Agent within MI6.
A very slow burn filled with terrific performances from an all star cast and an ending worth the wait.
FUN FACT: In a long career spanning thirty years at the time of the 2012 Oscar nominations, this film represented Gary Oldman's first Academy Award nomination for acting (Best Actor).
