Kuklinski, Ryszard Kuklinski - Double O Siedem

War Games, the film based on the life of spy Ryszard Kuklinski and one of the most eagerly awaited documentaries ever made in Poland, has gone on general release in Polish cinemas.

The American premiere of the movie took place last December at the CIA headquarters in Langley, VA, preceded by a closed screening for active CIA agents.

The film tells the story of Colonel Ryszard Kuklinski, who passed top secret Warsaw Pact documents to the CIA between 1971 and 1981, including plans for a military onslaught on the West and for the imposition of martial law in Poland to crush the Solidarity movement.

Shortly after the declaration of martial law in December 1981, Kuklinski was extracted from Poland by the CIA, along with his family. In 1984, a military court in Warsaw sentenced him to death. The sentence was annulled after the fall of communism. Kuklinski died in Florida in 2004.
