Synopsis: Thrill-a-minute feature-film director Wolfgang Petersen (In the Line of Fire; The Perfect Storm) makes his foray into series television as the executive producer of THE AGENCY, a look at the high-stakes inner workings of the CIA and the ways in which its cases and investigations are handled.

Gil Bellows (Ally McBeal) stars as undercover--and overworked--operative Matt Calhoun, who in the pilot sets out to recruit a Middle Eastern diplomat who has invaluable information about an impending terrorist bombing. Calhoun's efforts, like those of everyone working for the agency, are informed and guided by intelligence and antiterrorist operatives. But how is the information passed on? Which secrets daily put Calhoun's life, and the integrity of the CIA, in jeopardy? And which ones threaten our government?

As directed by Mikael Salomon (acclaimed photographer of The Abyss and director of last year's series pilot for THE FUGITIVE) THE AGENCY details the secrets of this very secret government bureau.
