The amazing true story of the world's first international super spy
Reilly, Ace of Spies es una miniserie de televisión de 1983 que dramatiza la vida de Sidney Reilly, un judío ruso que se convirtió en uno de los mejores espías que jamás haya trabajado para los británicos. Entre sus hazañas, a principios del siglo XX, se encuentran la infiltración del Estado Mayor alemán en 1917 y el casi derrocamiento de los bolcheviques en 1918.
