Breach (2007)

.
Based on America’s most dangerous turncoat – FBI agent Robert Hanssen.

Devout Catholic, father of six, former Chicago cop, Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper) was the most unlikely cat-and-mouse counter-operative in the history of the FBI. Hanssen had been head of the agency’s Soviet Analytical Unit and was considered the most knowledgeable analyst on Russian intelligence and for six years had been the liaison to the State Department. He was just beginning a new assignment at the FBI as the head of Information Assurance to protect the agency’s system from cyber-terrorism and information.

Hanssen is known to the FBI as an internet sexual deviant, so Agent Kate Burroughs (Laura Linney), has assigned a young agent, Eric O’Neill (Ryan Phillippe) to work in Hanssen’s office to document his every move.

What O’Neill helps to discovers sets the FBI and the nation on their ears.

Also appearing are Dennis Haysbert as Dean Plesac, Special Deputy in Charge of the investigation of Hanssen; Kathleen Quinlan as Hanssen’s wife Bonnie; Caroline Dhavernas as Eric’s wife Juliana; Gary Cole as Agent Rich Garces; Bruce Davidson as Eric’s father John.
