''Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'' is a 2011 Cold War espionage film directed by Tomas Alfredson. The screenplay was written by Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan, based on John le Carré's 1974 novel of the same name. The film, starring Gary Oldman as George Smiley, along with Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Ciarán Hinds, is set in London in the early 1970s and follows the hunt for a Soviet double agent at the top of the British secret service. The film was produced through the British company Working Title Films and financed by France's StudioCanal. It premiered in competition at the 68th Venice International Film Festival. It was a critical and commercial success, and was the highest-grossing film at the British box office for three consecutive weeks. The film also received three Academy Awards nominations: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and for Oldman, Best Actor. The novel had previously been adapted into the award-winning BBC TV miniseries ''Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'' (1979). ==Plot== In October 1973, Control, head of British intelligence ("the Circus"), sends Jim Prideaux to Budapest to meet a Hungarian general. Prideaux is shot and captured. Amid the international incident that follows, Control and his right-hand man George Smiley are forced into retirement. Sir Percy Alleline becomes the new Chief, with Bill Haydon as his deputy, and Roy Bland and Toby Esterhase as key lieutenants. Despite Control and Smiley's misgivings, their successors had already begun a secret operation - "Witchcraft" - to obtain Soviet intelligence, which is being exchanged with the CIA for US intelligence. Smiley is brought out of retirement by Oliver Lacon, the civil servant in charge of intelligence, to investigate a claim by Ricki Tarr, a British spy thought to have defected, that there has been a long-term mole in a senior role in the Circus. Control had suspected this, as well. Smiley chooses Peter Guillam and retired Special Branch officer Mendel to help him. He interviews Connie Sachs, who was sacked by Alleline after deducing that Alexei Polyakov, a Soviet cultural attaché in London, was a spy. Tarr tells Smiley that, on a mission to Istanbul, he had had an affair with Irina, a Soviet agent. She wanted to reveal the name of a mole in the top ranks of the Circus in exchange for a new life in the West. Tarr reported this to London, but the reply, several hours later, ignored the request and ordered him straight home. He went into hiding after being accused of defecting and of murdering the British station chief. Smiley sends Guillam to steal the Circus logbook for the night Tarr called: he finds the pages for that night are cut out, suggesting that Tarr's story is true. Smiley interviews Prideaux, who after brutal interrogation was exchanged by the Soviets but sacked from the service. Prideaux says the purpose of the mission to Hungary was to get the name of the mole. Control had codenamed the suspects "Tinker" (Alleline), "Tailor" (Haydon), "Soldier" (Bland), "Poorman" (Esterhase), and "Beggarman" (Smiley himself). Smiley learns that Alleline, Haydon, Bland, and Esterhase have been meeting Polyakov—the "Witchcraft" source—at a safe house, where Polyakov gives them supposedly high-grade Soviet intelligence in exchange for low-grade British material, to help him maintain his cover with the Soviets. However, the mole is passing substantive material, including US intelligence, to Polyakov, his handler, whilst Polyakov's material has just enough substance to persuade the CIA to share information with the British. Smiley has Tarr appear at the Paris office, implying he knows who the mole is. The mole meets Polyakov at the safe house, where Smiley arrests him. The mole is Haydon. The Circus plans to exchange Haydon to the Soviets, but Prideaux, having learned that Haydon betrayed him, kills him. Smiley returns to the Circus as its chief. ==Cast== * Gary Oldman as George Smiley/"Beggarman" * Colin Firth as Bill Haydon/"Tailor" * Tom Hardy as Ricki Tarr * Mark Strong as Jim Prideaux * Ciarán Hinds as Roy Bland/"Soldier" * Benedict Cumberbatch as Peter Guillam * David Dencik as Toby Esterhase/"Poorman" * Stephen Graham as Jerry Westerby * Simon McBurney as Oliver Lacon * Toby Jones as Sir Percy Alleline/"Tinker" * John Hurt as "Control" * Kathy Burke as Connie Sachs * Roger Lloyd-Pack as Mendel * Svetlana Khodchenkova as Irina * Arthur Nightingale as Bryant * John Le Carré as Christmas Party Guest * Christian McKay as Mackelvore * Konstantin Khabensky as Polyakov * Linda Marlowe as Mrs McCraig * Michael Sarne as Karla * Tomasz Kowalski as Boris * Stuart Graham as Minister * Zoltán Mucsi as Hungarian agent * Laura Carmichael as Sal 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
