The Circus, a shadow branch of MI6 led by Control (John Hurt – Alien), is tasked with covert assignments of intelligence during the Cold War. After a botched overseas mission, both Control and his right hand man George Smiley (Gary Oldman – The Dark Knight) are made scapegoats and relieved of their duties.
