The film "The True Story of the U-2 Incident" was a Cold War incident of

1960s. It was about an American pilot who was shot in Russia, while taking

pictures for the CIA. Francis Gray Powers was captured by the Russians, during

his captivity, Powers was questioned and was found guilty because he was working

for the United States.

What is happening in the world beyond the movie is that during the

presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower; during his time two planes were shot down

from soviet airspace. The United States sent a pilot named Francis Gray Powers to

spy on Russia, to see where to put there bombs. The historical context that helped

me understand this movie is the Cold War and the dates because it explains in the

movie
