The Falcon and the Snowman is a 1985 American spy drama film directed by John Schlesinger.The screenplay by Steven Zaillian is based on the 1979 book The Falcon and the Snowman: A True Story of Friendship and Espionage by Robert Lindsey, and tells the true story of two young American men, Christopher Boyce (Timothy Hutton) and Andrew Daulton Lee (), who sold security secrets to the Soviet Union.
