It begins with a simple premise: what if your seemingly humdrum mum and dad were secretly international spies? Once upon a time, Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) and Ingrid (Carla Gugino) were sent on a mission by their respective intelligence agencies to assassinate each other, but ended up falling in love, retiring and starting a family. All’s well that ends well. But then a spate of disappearances force them to return to action twelve years later, and they soon join the long list of MIA agents. Needless to say, it’s left up to their children, 12-year-old Carmen and 9-year-old Juni, to save the day. Espionage is often part of an institutional effort by a government or commercial concern. However, the term tends to be associated with state spying on potential or actual enemies for military purposes. Spying involving corporations is known as industrial espionage. Espionage is defined as the act of spying or using spies, agents, assets, and intelligence officers, as well as technology, to collect secret information, usually through illegal means. What is the Espionage Act? Sarah Megan Thomas plays Virginia and also wrote the screenplay, which weaves together her character’s story with those of two other real-life heroines of the war. The Romanian-born Vera Atkins (Stana Katic) worked for the British Special Operations Executive, known as Churchill’s Secret Army, recruiting women agents at a time when that was a novel concept. One of her recruits, the Anglo-Indian Noor Inayat Khan (Radhika Apte), went to France as a wireless operator, the most dangerous assignment. Virginia’s story is central, though, beginning with her fight to become an agent despite her gender and physical disability. “It’s the perfect cover,” Vera says when advocating that Virginia should go to Lyon posing as a journalist. “No one would suspect a pretty American reporter with a limp of being guilty of anything.”

What are some words and phrases that spies use? During the many 20th-century spy scandals, much information became publicly known about national spy agencies and dozens of real-life secret agents. These sensational stories piqued public interest in a profession largely off-limits to human interest news reporting, a natural consequence of the secrecy inherent in their work. To fill in the blanks, the popular conception of the secret agent has been formed largely by 20th and 21st-century fiction and film. Attractive and sociable real-life agents such as Valerie Plame find little employment in serious fiction, however. The fictional secret agent is more often a loner, sometimes amoral—an existential hero operating outside the everyday constraints of society. Loner spy personalities may have been a stereotype of convenience for authors who already knew how to write loner private investigator characters that sold well from the 1920s to the present. [44]
