The veteran CIA agent is tasked with unmasking the mole at the CIA’s Vienna bureau. Henry must interrogate his former colleagues to get to the truth.

NEW DRAMA

All the Old Knives

From Friday 8 April, Prime Video

Eight years after a terror attack in Austria killed everyone on board Flight 127, the CIA operatives who were based in the agency’s Vienna station at the time have tried to put the devastating tragedy behind them. But then it comes back to haunt them.

When intelligence suggests that a mole within the station was responsible for leaking information to the hijackers, veteran agent Henry Pelham (Chris Pine) is tasked with questioning his former colleagues to identify the traitor.

Among those under suspicion are former station chief Victor Wallinger (Laurence Fishburne), who has since gone on to greater things, and his recently retired second-in-command Bill Compton (Jonathan Pryce). But the most emotionally-charged encounter in Prime Video’s one-off thriller All the Old Knives comes when Henry arranges to have dinner with his one-time colleague – and ex-lover – Celia Harrison, played by Thandiwe Newton.
