The true story of Moe Berg, a baseball player who was commonly known as the smartest man in the game, having graduated from Princeton and Columbia. Berg, who spoke several languages and read ten newspapers a day, was contracted by the United States government to use his fame to travel to Italy during World War II and work as a spy. A weird convergence of two later films, "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" (2002) and "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006), both also based on true stories.
