"At the turn of the 20th century, one remarkable man single-handedly tried to alter the course of history. This Russian-born British agent radically transformed modern espionage techniques and set the mold for the super spy. Reilly: Ace Of Spies is the thrilling, suspenseful dramatization of the real-life adventures of Sidney Reilly, the inspiration behind Ian Fleming's James Bond. Shot in glorious period detail, one heart-pulsing mission after another captures the arc of Reilly's brilliant career. From stealing top-secret Russian oil information to his final capture by Stalin's forces in 1918. Reilly's exploits are at times so daring, it's hard to believe they are history and not fiction."--Container.
