Plot
Set in 1915, during World War I, when Germany plotted to sabotage American aid to Europe. At that time, America became essential for the Allies because they were their trade partner and Germany could not bare that essential help, which will make the Allies win the war, so they elaborated a plan to avoid that alliance between America and Europe.
[2] On January 14, 2013, Warner Bros. acquired the film rights to the book, and set Bradley Cooper to star and produce through his 22 & Indiana Pictures, along with John Lesher through his Le Grisbi Productions, and Adam Kassan. Bradley Cooper embodies a New-Yorker policeman and he has to pursue German spies, who make everything to block America from entering in the First World War. Germany will plan a lot of attacks on the American soil such as the bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building or even the shooting of J.P. Morgan, an important financier for the Allies to keep America from helping the Allies. [3]
