World History

It is not surprising that a global conflict like World War II generated so many amazing spy stories. Espionage has always been a business marked by deceit, betrayal, and frequently, death. The fate of a captured spy is usually brutal, and even relatively benign entities like the Allies dealt harshly with such individuals. Still, their treatment was relatively kind compared to the Nazis.

The remarkable World War II&nbsp;spy stories&nbsp;include <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ww2-figures-tombstones/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">heroes and villains</a>, loyalists and traitors, and the greatest World War II spies that were motivated by duty, principle,&nbsp;or just plain money.

Debunking

Spycraft is constantly changing&nbsp;thanks to new technologies,&nbsp;shifting political alliances, and perceived threats. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-accurate-espionage-movies/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">Movies about spies</a> during the Cold War, for example, may contain traditional spy tropes for good reason. A contemporary spy movie, on the other hand, might play on an outdated yet popular idea about spying simply to appeal to an audience. In fact, many&nbsp;traditional spy tropes have been so ingrained into popular culture that they may never disappear from Hollywood storytelling.&nbsp;

Whether comedic, action-packed, or tales of thrilling intrigue, movies about spies are full of tropes that show up over and over again. Danger around every corner, complete secrecy, and the ability to kill at will - they&#39;re all associated with the quintessential spy life. But how accurate are spy movies?

Real spies have weighed in on some of the realities of their work, taking on ridiculous beliefs perpetuated by Hollywood. Proceed with caution - busting one of these myths might just upend everything you thought you knew about spies.

Who Am I?

When highly trained spies set out to complete secret missions it's hard to know who to trust. The <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/spy-movies-and-films/reference">best movies about agents and operatives</a> are action-packed thrillers that bring movie-goers on the edge of their seats. This is a list of the best special agent movies including everything from Point Break to The Bourne Identity to Burn After Reading.What films will you find on this list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-cia-movies">best movies about agents</a>?

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is more of a cerebral thriller full of interest and intrigue.

Espionage is, by its very nature, a secretive act, so it&#39;s unsurprising that most films depicting it miss&nbsp;the mark on a number of levels. Even though most <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spy-movies-and-films/reference" target="_blank">spy movies and espionage action-thrillers</a> are nothing like the real thing, there are a few. These films make the effort to recreate the actual practice&nbsp;of uncovering secrets, subverting plots, and damaging foreign powers.

Granted, unless you work in the field, there&#39;s no way to know for sure -&nbsp;and if you do work in the field, you&#39;ll probably never confirm what you&#39;ve seen. However, with the passage of time, some details have emerged about the events depicted in various spy movies - and some films do somewhat mirror the real-life practices of espionage.&nbsp;

These films are the ones that come the closest... so far as we know! Look through the list and find your favorite spy or espionage film you believe to be the most accurate. Don&#39;t forget to vote it up to see which one rises to the top!

Though pop culture typically depicts them as James Bond-type loners, plenty of&nbsp;real CIA officers&nbsp;have active personal lives they balance alongside their classified work. When so much of their lives remain secret, what do CIA agents tell their families?

Government agents already have a lot on their plates, from <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/life-of-a-secret-service-agent/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">intense and unpredictable daily schedules</a> to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/cia-training-facts/aaron-edwards" target="_blank">physically and mentally rigorous training</a>. Thankfully, agency protocol makes it possible for CIA agents to lead normal lives. Like everyone else, CIA agents date, marry, and raise kids, in addition to maintaining relationships with friends and family. Unlike everyone else, operatives can&#39;t share most <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/central-intelligence-agency-_cia)-books-list/reference" target="_blank">details of their day-to-day lives</a> with their loved ones, and their relationships must follow the CIA&#39;s&nbsp;rules. With so much of their lives shrouded in secrecy, how do CIA agents maintain a personal life?

Classic Movies

The Shanghai Story

This collection of the greatest spy films of the 1950s represents some of the most beloved films of the genre. Set against the backdrop of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-cold-war-movies-list/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">Cold War</a>, the Red Scare, and a culture of betrayal and tension, the spy movies of the &#39;50s are rife with secret pickups, double-crosses, surveillance, and murder.

&nbsp; 
What is the best 1950s spy film? Many fans of the espionage genre would make the case for Alfred Hitchcock&rsquo;s 1959 masterpiece North by Northwest. Featuring an all-star cast including Eva Marie Saint, Cary Grant, and James Mason, the film is regarded as one of the finest spy movies ever made. Hitchcock&rsquo;s influence can be seen all over this list of the top 1950s spy movies, in such films as The 39 Steps, a remake of Hitchcock&rsquo;s 1935 film of the same name.

 
Also on this list, you will find classics such as Pickup on South Street, The Man Who Never Was, and My Favorite Spy. Vote up the best &#39;50s spy movies below, and be sure to let us know what you think in the comment section.&nbsp;

The best &#39;80s <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spy-movies-and-films/reference" target="_blank">spy movies</a> feature plenty of thrills, deception, deep cover, and special operations. Spy movies can take two routes - they will either deal with espionage realistically, or through fantasy story telling. Some of the most popular &#39;80s spy movies feature cool gadgets and gear that might not be realistic to use in real life, but make for great film content!&nbsp;

 
So what are the greatest &lsquo;80s spy movies? Any discussion of the spy genre has to start with the ultimate fictional spy: James Bond. 007 has been delighting audiences since the 1960s. The &lsquo;80s saw three different Bonds. Sean Connery, often regarded as the best of them all, appeared in his final Bond film, Never Say Never Again, in 1983. The other two &lsquo;80s Bonds were Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. Moore played the role well into his fifties, making him the oldest actor to play the super-spy. &nbsp;

In addition to the ever-popular James Bond films, many of the top &lsquo;80s spy movies centered around <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/cold-war?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">Cold War</a> fears and anxieties. The Falcon and the Snowman is a prime example. Starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn, the film tells the story of two friends who get caught up in a scheme involving selling secrets to the Soviets.

America&#39;s Central Intelligence Agency - and the people who work for it - are the perfect heroes for movies and TV shows. The&nbsp;greatest CIA characters&nbsp;are usually highly-trained, highly-lethal masters of subterfuge who are tasked with&nbsp;protecting American interests abroad.&nbsp;CIA characters are usually put in impossible situations where failure not only means death but also a total disavowment by their own government.&nbsp;

It&#39;s all intriguing stuff, and some of the greatest <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-action-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">action films of all time</a> have centered around the actions of CIA operatives or other other shadowy organizations working alongside the CIA. That&#39;s how we get the Mission Impossible&#39;s IMF&nbsp;and Jason Bourne&#39;s Operation Treadstone. But who would win in an ultimate showdown of deception and hand-to-hand combat? Who among all the&nbsp;greatest CIA agents of all time comes out on top?

Your mission - should you choose to accept it - is to vote up America&#39;s greatest CIA agents. Is there somebody we missed (probably because they&#39;re so good at hiding)? If so, add them to the list!

Espionage is sometimes&nbsp;known as&nbsp;the world's second oldest profession (after prostitution, of course).&nbsp;An account&nbsp;of spies hiding on a prostitute's roof can&nbsp;be found in the Book of Joshua, and Sun Tzu's The Art of War, from&nbsp;500&nbsp;BCE, explored&nbsp;advanced methods of espionage at a time when there were only 100,000,000 people to spy on worldwide (for reference, about the population of Ethiopia in 2016). Famous and notable spies from history aren't limited to black-suited secret agents&nbsp;sprung from paranoia in the Cold War.There were, in fact,&nbsp;sophisticated spies sneaking letters across enemy lines&nbsp;in the Roman Empire and&nbsp;cryptographic pioneers employing invisible ink during the Revolutionary War. The historical spies on this list run a wide gamut, from Ancient Chinese spies to English spies, American spies, and even spies in the Bible. Read on for fascinating espionage facts from throughout history.

The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/best-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">best movies</a> about surveillance and hidden cameras feature characters&nbsp;who see something before anyone else does, and try to warn others about a devious plot. This is a list of the top secret camera&nbsp;movies&nbsp;including everything from Demolition Man to Rear Window to The Lives of Others.What films will you find on this list of the best security footage movies? Surveillance is taken to new heights in the 2002 sci-fi thriller&nbsp;Minority Report. The film stars Tom Cruise as a rogue police officer running from the law in a world where cameras are everywhere. The Conversation is another good movie about using surveillance techniques&nbsp;to investigate a murder.&nbsp;Snowden examines the United States government's role in surveying the world through digital data. Other good surveillance movies include Disturbia, The Forgotten, and Vacancy.Which of these <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-teesri-aankh-the-hidden-camera-actors-and-actresses/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">hidden camera movies</a> is&nbsp;your favorite?

One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing

In a way, the espionage genre did not develop much from the &lsquo;60s to the &lsquo;70s. Like their predecessors, the best &#39;70s spy movies are a mix of American grit, British suave, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-cold-war-movies-list/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">Cold War</a> realpolitik. With Cold War fears lessening slightly compared to the previous decade, spy movies still often focused on Russian defectors, nuclear annihilation, and East German intrigue.

 
Many of the greatest &lsquo;70s spy movies feature everyone&rsquo;s favorite MI6 operative, James Bond. Portrayed by Roger Moore, Bond had a big decade, appearing in five films including The Man with the Golden Gun and The Spy Who Loved Me, later to be parodied by Mike Meyers in Austin Powers: <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/austin-powers-the-spy-who-shagged-me-characters/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Spy Who Shagged Me</a>. American filmmakers took on the espionage genre as well, a choice example being Three Days of the Condor. Directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford as a CIA agent who doesn&rsquo;t know who to trust, the film garnered critical acclaim and remains a spy movie classic.

You Only Live Twice

The best &lsquo;60s spy movies are a diverse group of films, featuring suave super-spies, dangerous and beautiful femme fatales, and flashes of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-cold-war-movies-list/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">Cold War</a> paranoia. Many of these espionage classics were box office hits when they were released, and several have transcended to legendary status.

 
What are the best &lsquo;60s spy movies? Allow me to introduce you to Bond. James Bond. The British gentleman-spy was ubiquitous in the 1960s. For most of the decade, Sean Connery inhabited the role, appearing in such Bond favorites as Goldfinger and From Russia with Love. In 1969, Connery was replaced by George Lazenby, the only actor to have only appeared in one Bond film: On Her Majesty&rsquo;s Secret Service. Here, you&rsquo;ll also find The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, an adaptation of the 1963 John le Carr&eacute; novel of the same name. Le Carr&eacute; is one of the most prolific espionage novelists of all time, and many of his books have been adapted for the screen.

 
Some of the top &lsquo;60s spy movies take a comedic approach to the genre. For example, you&rsquo;ll see What&rsquo;s Up, Tiger Lily?, a 1966 Woody Allen comedy. Allen overdubbed a Japanese <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spy-movies-and-films/reference" target="_blank">spy film</a> with all new dialogue, transforming the plot into a quest for the world&rsquo;s best egg salad recipe.

Jason Bourne

Jason Charles Bourne is a fictional character and the protagonist of a series of novels by Robert Ludlum and subsequent film adaptations. He first appeared in the novel The Bourne Identity, which was adapted for television in 1988. The novel was very loosely adapted in 2002 into a feature film under the same name and starred Matt Damon in the lead role.
