Spy Game is a 2001 espionage thriller starring Robert Redford as Nathan Muir, a veteran CIA operative on the verge of retirement who discovers he has less than 24 hours to devise a way to free Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt), his former CIA protégé who has been covertly taken prisoner by the Chinese government following an unauthorized rescue attempt that went awry. The film was directed by Tony Scott and marked the first onscreen pairing of Redford and Pitt, who had previously worked together on the 1992 film A River Runs Through It.
The following weapons were used in the film Spy Game:
The Chinese prison guards (including ones played by Logan Wong, Hon Ping Tang, Tom Lung and Chuen Tsou) in Su Chou carry the Norinco Type 56-1. The Vietnamese gunner in the helicopter also fires a Type 56-1 at Bishop and Jiang during the 1975 flashback, as do several Viet Cong. Many of the Lebanese terrorists and Sheik Salameh's men also carry Type 56-1 rifles during the 1985 flashback to Beirut. Some of the East German border guards in the late 1970s flashbacks also carried AKMS rifles.
Bishop (Brad Pitt) fires the AK-47 carried by his South Vietnamese spotter Jiang (Adrian Pang) at the NVA helicopter gunner. A Lebanese terrorist in Beirut is also seen firing an AK-47. One of the Sheik's entourage is seen with an AK rifle.
U.S. and South Vietnamese soldiers during the 1975 Vietnam flashback carry the M16A1 with 30-round magazines. U.S. Embassy Marines in Beirut during the 1985 flashback are also armed with M16A1s. In 1992, some of the US Navy SEALs are armed with the rifles during the Operation Dinner Out.
The Sheik's personal bodyguards all carry Heckler & Koch MP5A3 SMGs as do the Lebanese terrorists who plant the bomb inside a building. The MP5A3's seen here all have early slim handguards. The U.S. Navy SEALs (including one played by James Embree) under Commander Wiley (Dale Dye) all carry MP5A3s when rescuing Bishop and Hadley from Su Chou prison during Operation Dinner Out. These MP5A3's are fitted with Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights.
A terrorist in Beirut during the 1985 flashback fires an RPG-7, seen in one of the photos Bishop takes while undercover as a photojournalist. In a gaffe, the launcher is seen firing, despite the fact that no warhead was loaded.
