In the beginning of WWII, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency -- the Special Operations Executive (SOE) -- to recruit and train women as spies. Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. SOE's "spymistress," Vera Atkins (Stana Katic), recruits two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall (Sarah Megan Thomas), an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan (Radhika Atpe), a Muslim pacifist. Together, these women help to undermine the Nazi regime in France, leaving an unmistakable legacy in their wake. Inspired by true stories.
"The script is tight, and the direction is solid... when we get to big emotional moments, they are well earned....The bottom line is that ‘A Call to Spy’ is an important, compelling story that had to be told. See the film! You'll want to know more.”- Andy Howell, Film ‘Threat
"An undeniably heartfelt tale of heroism" - Austin Chronicle
