Based on a true story, the film tells the story of well-known British businessman Graville Wayne who helped the CIA infiltrate the former Soviet Union's nuclear weapons program during the Cold War. He and his informant Oleg Pankowski (code name "Tin Wood") provided key intelligence to end the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Tin Wood is directed by Dominique Cook, who previously collaborated with the BBC series The Empty Crown with Curly Fu. In addition, "Mrs. Maisel" Rachel Brosnahan and Merab Ninizer ("Under the Electronic Clouds") also starred in the film.

Earlier, "Roll Fu" said in an interview with foreign media that he had made a lot of efforts to make this movie. In addition to learning the character archetype "somewhat strange Welsh accent", he lost weight in three months to shoot four scenes and fell seriously ill because he insisted on shooting semi-nude scenes in the winter. But he said: "It's nothing compared to Wayne's experience. That's what it is like to play this kind of role, and people will be amazed at it, but you know it's far from what an actor should be doing. ”
