15 Most Underrated Spy Movies Of All Time

The Sum of All Fears filmmaker Phil Alden Robinson's Sneakers is that rare beast, a fun spy caper which manages to attach real-world significance to its story and real emotional depth to its characters.

Opening on a daring heist which sees a handful of young hackers diverting conservative funds to their own progressive causes, this unapologetically political flick starts as it means to go on.

Soon viewers are rooting for the scrappy underdogs to succeed in taking down rogue NSA agents, and an all-star cast including Robert Redford (again), late Stand By Me standout River Phoenix, and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner hero Sidney Poitier doesn't hurt the movie's entertainment value.

Thrilling, fun, and criminally underrated, this is a fast-paced spy flick whose high stakes plot doesn't detract from its rollicking good time.
