Plot Synopsis

Inspired by the real-life story of former notorious Mossad agent Eli Cohen, THE SPY is a one-hour drama series set in the 1960s that centers on Eli, who goes deep undercover inside Syria on a perilous, years-long mission to spy for Mossad. Desperate to get an agent inside Syria, Mossad recruits Egyptian-born Eli and puts him through a crash course in spycraft. Solidifying his cover identity in Buenos Aires, Eli makes a serendipitous connection. But his fervor puts the entire mission in jeopardy. Eli makes an influential ally. Though early operations in Damascus quickly bear fruit, Dan fears Eli's bold methods will get him killed. On Friday, September 6, 2019 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released the entire six-episode limited series.
