Plot Summary

English-born Joan Stanley (Dame Judi Dench), a Soviet and Communist Party sympathizer, becomes employed as a British government civil servant, and gets recruited by the K.G.B. in the mid 1930s. She successfully transfers nuclear bomb secrets to Soviet Russia, which enables them to keep up with the west in the development of atomic weapons, and remains undetected as a spy for over a half a century.

Edit
Trivia Loosely based on the real-life case of Civil Servant Melita Norwood (1912-2005), who successfully passed classified information about the British Atomic program to the Russians in the 1940s and 50s. This was only discovered in 1992, by which time the Ministry of Defence declined to prosecute the then eighty-year-old. See more »
Goofs At around 06:00, the young Joan Stanley is seen wearing dark welding goggles whilst soldering in her Earth Sciences class at Cambridge University. Soldering, unlike welding, produces no damaging light emissions. See more »
