Berg (Paul Rudd), a jewish, Princeton-educated, multilingual catcher for the Boston Red Sox was already a man of mystery when, in 1944, the US government's wartime intelligence agency enlisted his services. His mission: go behind enemy lines in Europe to assassinate the Nazi's chief nuclear scientist before the Germans develop an atomic bomb. Berg must rely on his formidable, steel-trap intellect in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse—with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.What do you think of The Catcher Was a Spy?
