A BANNED MASTERPIECE. A BOOK THAT CHANGED HISTORY. It is 1956 and a celebrated Russian author - BORIS PASTERNAK, is writing a book, Doctor Zhivago, which could spark dissent in the Soviet Union. The Soviets, afraid of its subversive power, ban it. But in the rest of the world it's fast becoming a sensation. In Washington DC, the CIA is planning to use the book to tip the Cold War in its favour. Their agents are not the usual spies, however. Two typists, the charming experienced Sally, and the talented novice Irina, are charged with the mission of a lifetime: to smuggle Doctor Zhivago back into Russia by any means necessary.
