Inspired by the incredible true story of the greatest security breach in U.S. intelligence history, Breach is a spellbinding thriller starring Academy Award winner Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe, Academy Award nominee Laura Linney and Dennis Haysbert. Eric O'Neill (Phillippe) is assigned to work with renowned operative Robert Hanssen (Cooper), the sole subject of a long-term, top-secret investigation. Determined to draw this suspected double agent out of deep cover, O'Neill finds himself in a lethal game of spy vs. spy, where nothing is as it seems. Critics are hailing Breach as "electrifying" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) and "suspenseful" (Ty Burr, The Boston Globe).... |

Goofs: Factual errors: When depicting the two Russian KGB officers who are given up by Hanssen, the officers are shown getting out of a black Mercedes flying a Russian flag and bearing a red license plate beginning with 036. In fact, red license plates in Russia denote foreign diplomats and 036 in particular denotes Iran. The correct license place color would have been black, which denotes a military vehicle. The license plate's last two digits, 77, were correct in that they denoted the geographic area of Moscow, which is where Linney's character said the Russian officers were brought. (more) Trivia: The German translation of the title is "Unmasked", the German alternate title means "Unmasked - Treason on the top level". (more) Filming Locations: Arlington, Virginia, USA (more) Quotes: Robert Hanssen: I wrote a program last night using just ones and zeros, just to see if I could do it. (more) Awards: 1 nomination (more)
