If you forgot Father's Day then do not fear as FemaleFirst has copies of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to give away - which will make an excellent if somewhat late gift for your Dad.
The movie brings together a fantastic cast that includes Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, mark Strong and John Hurt as John le Carre's novel is brought to life by filmmaker Tomas Alfredson.
Set at the height of The Cold War, with international relations poisoned with paranoia and deception, Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), codenamed ‘The Circus’, is striving to keep pace with other countries attempts at counter-espionage, and keep the UK secure.
The Chief of the Circus, ‘Control’ (John Hurt) personally sends dedicated agent Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) into Hungary, but the mission goes bloodily awry, forcing Control out of his position, and the circus, along with trusted lieutenant George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a career spy with razor-sharp senses.
However when disgraced agent Rikki Tarr (Tom Hardy) reappears with devastating information that The Circus has long been compromised by a mole working for the soviets, Smiley is secretly conscripted back into service and the murky world of espionage.
Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to four suspects - all experienced, urbane, successful agents - but past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British establishment.
Even before the startling truth is revealed, the emotional and physical tolls on the players enmeshed in the deadly international spy game will escalate, as the hunt leaves a trail or murder, doubt and double crosses in it’s wake.
