Wynne was arrested and jailed as a spy scene
Russian prison scene from The Courier 2020 (Benedict Cumberbatch)
The moonlighting spy was arrested on a business trip to Budapest in November 1962 and taken to the Soviet Union. The film sees him arrested on a plane leaving Moscow and does not delve into his show trial for spying alongside Penkovsky in May 1963. Sentenced to eight years in a labor camp, Wynne spent 18 months in Moscow's Lubyanka Prison, where he was subjected to beatings and torture.
Penkovsky either was shot or killed himself in prison - there are disputing accounts. But his leaked information on Soviet missile capabilities and played a key role in President Kennedy's strong, successful stance during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"Most experts agree that what Penkovsky provided on the Soviet's capabilities was extremely useful during the Cuban Missile crisis," says Robert English, director of Central European Studies at the University of Southern California. "And Greville played a big part in that."
A meeting between the Russian prisoners, in which Wynne tells Penkovsky of the import of his information, as depicted in the film, is drama.
"In a way, it's a love letter to Penkovsky," Cumberbatch says. It's a thank you from the West for what he sacrificed."
THE COURIER is a true-life spy thriller, the story of an unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history. At the behest of the UK's MI-6 and a CIA operative (Rachel Brosnahan), he forms a covert, dangerous partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) in an effort to provide crucial intelligence needed to prevent a nuclear confrontation and defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.

1:24 this image is iconic. When he enters his own apartment at the end of the movie, he stands before a white door.

I feel like they cut the scene short where he sat down at the table and they start to rough him up today immediately cut to his cell

Strange? What happens to you in there? 🤨

Injections of various drugs like sedatives, cocaine, psychedelics at the same time. Basically they want to mess your mind up to the maximum. Later offers of treachery will be made but this was light treatment. Also KGB were society elites, very thin. Unlikely they would be doing the torture
