An idealistic young intelligence officer finds himself slipping into a double life of espionage and crime after being tasked with infiltrating and taking down a smuggling ring in 1970 Saigon.

SYNOPSIS:

“Midnight at the Caravelle” is an eight episode hour-long true-crime spy thriller set during the closing stages of the war in Vietnam.

The series follows an idealistic young military intelligence officer (and former war protester) as he slips deeper and deeper into a double life of espionage and crime after being tasked with infiltrating and taking down a drug smuggling ring led by an enigmatic (and charismatic) French businessman.

Think: the social commentary and spectacle of “Apocalypse Now”, the deceit and deception of “Donnie Brasco”, and the classic suspense of Graham Green’s “The Quiet American”.

Tense, cinematic, and deeply rooted in character, “Midnight at the Caravelle” is a love letter to the golden age of 1970s American cinema—a marriage of human drama, political intrigue, and existential angst.
