The Dark Knight Rises duo of Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy star alongside recent Oscar winner Colin Firth, as well as Mark Strong, Ciar'an Hinds, Stephen Graham and War Horse thesp Benedict Cumberbatch. Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan adapted John le Carr'e's espionage novel, which follows George Smiley (Oldman), a veteran spy pulled out of semi-retirement to ferret out a Soviet agent in MI6."
For Focus, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy reunites them with grand spy writer John le Carr'e, whose novel The Constant Gardener Focus brought to the screen in 2005.
