Legacy (2013)

In the tumultuous era of 1974 Britain, where industrial unrest ripples through the nation, a young and ambitious trainee spy, Charles Thoroughgood, is thrust into the murky world of espionage. Charles is commanded by his boss, the enigmatic Hookey, to exploit his university ties with his old friend, Viktor Koslov. Viktor, now a Russian embassy official embroiled in an affair with the captivating Mayfair escort, Eva Pyke, becomes the perfect target for recruitment. However, the chessboard of intrigue turns, with Charles left stunned by a revelation. His recently-deceased father, a respected army officer, had been a mole for the Russians, and Viktor, his old friend, is now trying to ensnare him into this web of deceit. Amidst the shadowy allure of 'Operation Legacy,' a labyrinthine network of secret caches hidden by the KGB in strategic locations in western countries, Charles grapples with his father's chilling past and his own uncertain future. As Charles navigates his way through this treacherous world of double-agents and hidden agendas, he uncovers the extent of his father's betrayal and finds himself questioning his loyalty. His actions expose Viktor's illicit affair to the Russians, adding another layer of complexity to the dance of deception. Assisted by his colleague, the resourceful Anna March, Charles thwarts a Russian assault on power stations, demonstrating his prowess as an MI6 operative. Despite enabling Viktor's escape, Charles is left disillusioned, his faith shaken in the world of spies and secrets. This gripping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and clandestine operations paints a vivid picture of the world of espionage, forcing the viewer to question the true meaning of legacy and the heavy cost of secrets.
