Brad Pitt is reunited as a co-star with his A River Runs Through It (1992) director Robert Redford for this espionage thriller from Tony Scott. On the verge of retirement from the Central Intelligence Agency, veteran spy Nathan Muir (Redford) learns that his one-time protégé Tom Bishop (Pitt) has gone rogue and been taken prisoner after attempting to smuggle a prisoner out of China. Although Muir and Bishop had once been close friends, sharing adventures from Vietnam to Berlin, bad blood and resentment developed between them, and the two men haven't seen each other in years. As his memories of their friendship come flooding back, Muir sets about arranging the rescue of his old friend from a Communist jail. Spy Game (2001) co-stars Catherine McCormack as a human rights activist and Bishop's love interest. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Universal's Spy Game DVD demonstrates just how much entertainment a DVD can provide. The movie stars Robert Redford as a veteran CIA operative and Brad Pitt as the young spook that he brings under his wing and takes a shine to. However, the movie, which is presented in full frame with a 1.33:1 aspect ratio and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, is almost incidental to the wealth of special features on the DVD. The disc contains two commentary tracks: one by director Tony Scott and one by producers Douglas Wick and Marc Abraham. It also includes production notes, cast and filmmakers notes, a script-to-storyboard segment with Scott, DVD-ROM features, CIA information, and alternative versions and deleted scenes. Possibly the most unique feature in all of this is the way Universal has folded the making-of documentary into the movie itself in a feature called "Clandestine OPS." When a special icon appears on the screen, viewers can access it and go directly to the filmmakers talking about how they made the particular scene that's appearing onscreen. The Spy Game DVD is as multi-layered as the movie itself. ~ Russell Roberts, All Movie Guide
