Tom Hanks Signs On To Save The Day In Exclusive Clip From Steven Spielberg's 'Bridge Of Spies'

In Steven Spielberg's new movie, Tom Hanks is asked to defend a United States pilot who is imprisoned in the Soviet Union after his spy plane is shot down amid the Cold War. "Bridge of Spies " is the duo's fourth film together, and its forthcoming premiere at the New York Film Festival will determine how much of a player it becomes in the 2016 Oscar race . In the meantime, The Huffington Post has an exclusive clip that shows Hanks' character being asked to take on the case becuase "American justice will be on trial." Sounds daunting.

"Bridge of Spies," written by Matt Charman and the Coen brothers, opens Oct. 16.
