==Plot== In 1991, the United States is finalizing a major trade agreement with China, prompting heightened diplomatic sensitivities. Tom Bishop, a covert [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] operative, is captured during an unauthorized mission in [[Suzhou, Jiangsu|Suzhou]] and faces execution within 24 hours. Bishop's actions, unsanctioned by the agency, threaten to derail the impending U.S.-China deal. CIA executives summon Nathan Muir, a veteran case officer on the verge of retirement, to evaluate Bishop’s history and determine whether the agency should intervene. As the officials conduct a [[Debriefing|debrief]] under the guise of an interview, Muir realizes they intend to distance the CIA from Bishop. He covertly initiates a counter-effort, leaking Bishop’s arrest to [[CNN]] through a British [[MI6]] contact, although the story is swiftly discredited by CIA interference. Through flashbacks, Muir recounts his history with Bishop: their first encounter in [[Vietnam]] in 1975, Bishop’s recruitment in [[West Berlin]] in 1976, and a tense mission in [[Beirut]] during the 1985 [[War of the Camps]]. During their Beirut assignment, Bishop meets and falls in love with Elizabeth Hadley, a [[Humanitarian aid|relief worker]] with a complex past, including ties to a bombing incident in the United Kingdom. Muir, viewing Hadley as a liability, orchestrates her capture by Chinese authorities in exchange for a U.S. diplomat. Feeling betrayed, Bishop cuts professional ties with Muir. Back in the present, Muir deduces that Bishop was in China to rescue Hadley. Leveraging his remaining contacts, he forges a CIA directive and covertly initiates "Operation Dinner Out," a rescue mission originally devised by Bishop. Using personal funds and intelligence assets, Muir arranges for a power outage at the prison to enable a [[United States Navy SEALs|Navy SEAL]] team to extract both Bishop and Hadley. As suspicions arise within the CIA, Muir evades detection by masking his actions under the guise of planning for retirement. The rescue succeeds, and Bishop realizes Muir was behind the operation upon hearing the code name. As the CIA scrambles to respond, Muir departs headquarters and drives into retirement, leaving behind a trail of misdirection and a successful extraction.
