PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A subtle and beautiful adaptation of Graham Greene's novel. Michael Caine stars as Thomas Fowler, a British journalist stationed in Vietnam in the 1950s, on the cusp of the Vietnam War. His friendship with the seemingly quiet American Alden Pyle (Brendan Fraser) takes a turn for the dangerous when Pyle falls in love with Fowler's young Vietnamese mistress (Do Thi Hai Yen), and his political motives become clear.
