The thing that hit me most when I watched this film was the contrast between Hanks' character pulling out all the stops to make sure that Abel got a fair trial, to Hanks' pushing his film based on Bugliosi's book. I wonder if it ever crossed Good Ole Tom's mind that there was once a time in the USA where even an accused Russian spy could get a fair trial, but a US citizen couldn't even be represented fairly after his death?
