Iconic spy Harry Palmer returns to thrill a global audience in this major new adaptation of Len Deighton’s bestseller.
Featuring a stellar cast, rich characterisation and a rollercoaster of twists and turns, The Ipcress File is a stylish spy story set in the 1960s amid the highly charged atmosphere of the Cold War. Harry Palmer, a British army sergeant turned black market hustler, is a man on the make in Berlin. But when the law catches up with him, everything comes crashing to a halt. However, a gentleman from British intelligence has a proposal. To avoid jail, Harry will become a spy. From Berlin to London, Beirut to the Pacific, Harry embarks on his first undercover mission in The Ipcress File, a globe-trotting tale of abducted scientists, brainwashing, treason and a possibly unwise romance. This reluctant spy may take no pleasure in his new job – but he’s bloody good at it.
