Eric O'Neill and Billy Ray from the movie 'Breach'
"Breach" is a new film inspired by the true story of the greatest security breach in U.S.
history. This morning the real life hero Eric O'Neill and director Billy Ray talked about
making the movie. "Breach" shows how our mentors can teach us even as they are betraying
us. "Breach" is set in the world of the FBI and follows Eric O'Neill (Phillippe), a
low-level flunkie who moves up in the ranks after being chosen for a choice assignment.
O'Neill is chosen to work with veteran operative Robert Hanssen (Cooper) in the newly
created division of the FBI named 'information assurance.' But O'Neill soon finds out
Hanssen is suspected of a being a mole and is the subject of a top-secret investigation.
Info from Universal Studios:
Universal Pictures has begun production on "Breach", starring Academy Award(R) winner
Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Academy Award(R) nominee Laura Linney, and written and
directed by Billy Ray.
Based on “The Eleventh Hour” by Adam Mazer and Bill Rotko and inspired by true events,
"Breach" is a dramatic thriller set inside the halls of the FBI – the gatekeeper of the
nation's most sensitive and potentially volatile secrets.
"This is a story about lying in the pursuit of truth," said writer/director Billy Ray.
"It's also about how our mentors can teach us even as they are betraying us."
When young Eric O'Neill is promoted out of his low-level surveillance job and into the
headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, his dream of becoming a full-fledged
agent is on the verge of becoming a reality. Even more impressive, O'Neill is handpicked
to work for renowned operative Robert Hanssen, within "information assurance," a new
division created to protect all classified FBI Intelligence.
O' Neill is quickly confronted with the true reason behind his hire: Hanssen is the sole
subject of a long-term, top-secret investigation, a suspected mole made all the more
dangerous by the sheer global import of the information he is charged with protecting.
The Bureau asks O'Neill to use Hanssen's growing trust to slowly draw the traitor out of
deep cover. Engaged in a lethal game of spy-versus-spy, O'Neill finds himself fighting to
bring down Hanssen before the treacherous double agent can destroy O'Neill, his family and
the nation they are both sworn to serve.
Linney portrays Special Agent Kate Burroughs, the FBI staffer in charge of O'Neill, and
Dennis Haysbert is Special Agent Dan Plesac, who teams with Burroughs to bring Hanssen down.
Also in the cast are Kathleen Quinlan, Gary Cole, Caroline Dhavernas, Bruce Davison and Mary
Jo Deschanel.
