Yuri Nosenko: Double Agent is a 1986 American–British television drama produced by the BBC[1][2][3] and directed by Mick Jackson.

This film tells the true-life story of Yuri Nosenko, a top Soviet KGB agent who defected to the West at the height of the Cold War in 1964.

Plot

Three months after the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Soviet KGB officer Yuri Nosenko defected to the CIA claiming to have been Lee Harvey Oswald's case officer, handler or contact. It resulted in a 3-year battle of wits between Nosenko and high-flying career US Government agent Steve Daley with the power politics inside the CIA.[4]
