The Gist: The Coen Bros. script is loosely based on the novel “Burn
Before Reading: Presidents, CIA Directors, and Secret Intelligence,” by Admiral
Stansfield Turner, who served as director of the CIA from 1977 to 1981. The
contemporary East Coast caper is about a CIA agent who is writing a book and he
loses the disc.
