CNN Original Series “Secrets & Spies A Nuclear Game” tracks the spies operating behind the scenes in the 1980s as the Cold War brings two superpowers to the brink of nuclear war. In the 1980s, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. pushed the world to the brink of global disaster as each nation rushed to build up its nuclear arsenal. As that was going on, each nation felt the acute need to spy on the other. This razor-sharp series examines the tenuousness of global geopolitics during the Cold War through the lens of two notorious double agents Oleg Gordievsky and Aldrich Ames. While the world was on the brink of global disaster, history was being made in the shadows. As President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher maneuver on the world stage to try to resolve the Cold War, it is in fact their agents that are pulling the strings. “There's a mole somewhere!” Gordievsky, the top KGB double agent for the British, proves invaluable by giving insight into the Soviet mindset. In the West, Aldrich is the head of the Soviet Desk for the CIA when he decides to turn traitor and work for the KGB. As the spy wars heat up in the shadows, they threaten to destabilize diplomatic efforts. The betrayals deepen, lives are lost, and some spies must embark on a daring escape. “Secrets & Spies A Nuclear Game” includes rare archival interviews and never-before-heard audio from double agents Gordievsky and Ames, as well as interviews with former CIA, FBI, MI6, MI5, KGB officers and former aides to Prime Minister Thatcher & President Reagan.

Part 3 Escape

Spy work appears to bring East and West closer, but the web they weave is about to close in and jeopardize the spies themselves. Battles between Cold War spies leads to danger, betrayal and high-risk stakes; as Reagan and Gorbachev take their first steps towards peace, the double agent spies begin to unravel the entire secret service networks. It's 1985, and Mikhail Gorbachev is the new, young leader of the Soviet Union at a very tense time. While both sides have hopes of peace, they have been publicly stockpiling nuclear weapons for decades. Neither side wants to appear weak. Thatcher and Reagan hope that fresh leadership in the Kremlin will offer an opportunity for constructive dialogue. Top double agent Oleg Gordievsky is pivotal in these negotiations, but a sudden summons back to Moscow by his KGB bosses has unnerved him - do they know he is secretly spying for Britain? When he arrives at his Moscow flat and discovers that a lock which he never turns has been used, his fears are confirmed.
