Abstract

The film "The Bridge of Spies" (Spielberg, 2015), based on real events, reflects the reality of international relations between blocks at the beginning of the Cold War, when espionage was part of the usual defense activity. Through the process of prosecuting and subsequently releasing Soviet spy Rudolph Abel we can examine relevant issues such as the universality of the right of defense, the validity of human rights and the search for international personality by emerging states.
