The film was shot in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Malta. It and the book it is adapted from, are loosely based on the exposure and defection of George Blake, a Soviet agent in British intelligence. The scene where Slade and Rearden escape from prison are inspired by Blake's escape from Wormwood Scrubs in 1966. The jail scenes were filmed at Liverpool Prison and Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin.
Joseph Rearden (Newman), an agent of British Intelligence arrives in London and makes a rendezvous with Mackintosh (Andrews), the head of his organisation in a discreet office located just off Trafalgar LESS
