An Officer and a Spy tells a story based on facts about Alfred Dreyfus, a French officer sentenced to life imprisonment for treason, and sent into exile. Soon after Dreyfus' imprisonment, Georges Picquart, the new head of intelligence, discovers that the evidence against the convict has been fabricated. Opposing his superiors, Picquart decides to reveal the truth at all costs. What is at stake is not only Picquart's brilliantly-started career, but also a great international scandal that would change the course of history. Roman Polański tells the story of one of the biggest scandals in history. The perfectly narrated intrigue shows a system in which the self-winding hate spiral begins to resemble current times. An Officer and a Spy is a film about how history repeats itself, and how one man fighting for justice against everyone else can change the course of history.
