Alec Leamas (Richard Burton), a British spy, is sent to East Germany, supposedly to defect, but in fact to sow disinformation. As more plot turns appear, Leamas becomes more convinced that his own people see him as just a cog. His struggle back from dehumanization becomes the final focus of the story.
When an East German informant is killed at Checkpoint Charlie right before his eyes, Alec Leamas (Richard Burton), head of the Berlin station, returns to London headquarters. There his boss, Control (Cyril Cusack), enquires if he is tired, burnt out, ready to come in from the cold. Control suggests that there is a vacancy, a desk job, that might interest him, but Leamas declines adamantly. Thus, Control immediately mentions that he has something out of the ordinary in mind, to target a German Agent called Hans-Dieter Mundt (Peter van Eyck), who is systematically eliminating informants to the West.
