The film is based on the true story of a British businessman who helped an organization infiltrate the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons program during the Cold War, and he and his Soviet sources provided key intelligence that successfully resolved Cuba's missile crisis.
Benedict Cumberbatch said in an interview that he would speak in the film with a "somewhat strange, somewhat upper-class but not very high-class Welsh accent".
