Tom Hanks portrays US lawyer James Donovan in Steven Spielberg's Bridge Of Spies.
If there is one profession that hasn’t gotten a good reputation in films, it’s that of a lawyer. But when it’s both Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg who want to tell the story of a certain real-life lawyer, then this man has to be someone worthy.
