Espionage is the act of stealing confidential information without permission from the one responsible for its secrecy. Crime is an offence against the law of nature and society. Espionage and Crime are related to each other by their similar offence to society. The individuals carrying out the devious act of Espionage are Agents. Espionage existed ever since ancient times such as ancient Egypt where secret societies investigated competing nations. The Cold war was another example where Espionage helped to give the parties at war an upper hand over each other by retrieving special information. In Espionage, it is not only to gain an upper hand to defeat the enemy, but to also be definite of the loyalty of your allies. Modern Espionage concern Industrial Espionage, and hacking. In the media, the arsenal, personality and character of the Agent is taken into consideration to interest the audience. The grand action scenes are highly unlikely in the Agent’s assignment which tends to give people the wrong idea of an Agent. In the end, isn’t an Agent’s main objective Espionage? Why should he be saving the world when all he has to do is steal something important and get away with it?
The Bourne series has always been a realistic story of espionage.
