　　TNT夏季新剧TheCompany是根据同名畅销历史小说改编的。为您讲述冷战时期的间谍故事，美国CIA特工和苏联的KGB间谍之间斗智斗勇的故事。冷战开始于1956年的匈牙利事件，焦点事件是猪湾事件与古巴导弹危机，结束于1991年前苏联的解体。TheCompany时间跨度40年，场景跨度也很大。从大雨滂沱的柏林街道，到阳光明媚的古巴海滩，从布达佩斯的秘密颠覆活动，到莫斯科与华盛顿的高级别会晤，两个当年的超级大国在全球这个大棋盘上步步为营，小心对垒。双方都试图打破平局，占得先机。然而，他们却都不是最后的赢家，相反，他们彼此都付出了惨重的代价。　　据剧透显示，TheCompany的每一集故事都有变化。第一集是间谍戏，描述的是冷战早期CIA和KGB之间的猫鼠游戏。第二集是动作戏，主要聚焦的是两个大事件：1956年的匈牙利事件和随后的猪湾事件。第三集是惊险戏，CIA拼命地要找出数十年来一直秘密破坏CIA行动并屡屡得手的KGB关键间谍。　　TheCompany有超豪华的制作班底。Gladiator（《角斗士》）的制作人RidleyScott、ManonFire（《怒火救援》）的制作人TonyScott、TheDaVinciCode（《达芬奇密码》）的制作人JohnCalley、Numb3rs（《数字追凶》）的联合制作人DavidW.Zucker、IntotheWest（《西部风云》）的联合制作人DavidA.Rosemont将联手打造本剧，导演是艾美奖获奖短剧BandofBrothers（《兄弟连》）的导演MikaelSalomon，剧本改编是BlackHawkDown（《黑鹰坠落》）的编剧KenNolan。
