The movie Wasp Network, directed by Olivier Assayas, is based on a true story and revolves around the espionage activities carried out by a group of Cuban agents operating in the United States during the 1990s. These agents, known as the Wasp Network, were sent by the Cuban government to infiltrate and gather information on anti-Castro groups based in Florida.
The film primarily focuses on three main characters: René González (Edgar Ramírez), Juan Pablo Roque (Wagner Moura), and Gerardo Hernández (Gael García Bernal). René is a Cuban pilot who defects to the United States but later becomes disillusioned with his life there and decides to join the Wasp Network. Juan Pablo is a former Cuban air force pilot who also defects to the United States but leads a double life, secretly working for the Cuban government. Gerardo is a dedicated Cuban intelligence officer who is sent to the United States to oversee the Wasp Network's operations.
As the story unfolds, the film delves into the lives of these characters and their efforts to gather valuable intelligence and prevent terrorist attacks planned by the anti-Castro groups. Alongside their espionage activities, personal relationships and conflicts within the group are explored, highlighting the emotional toll that their operations take on them and their families.
However, their involvement in espionage eventually raises suspicion from U.S. authorities, who begin to investigate the Wasp Network. As the net tightens, the agents find themselves in a precarious situation, facing the risk of exposure and legal consequences. The film showcases the cat-and-mouse game between the Cuban spies and U.S. law enforcement agencies, leading to their eventual unmasking and prosecution.
Ultimately, the Wasp Network members face severe legal repercussions, with five of them receiving long or life prison terms on charges of espionage and murder. The film raises questions about the nature of espionage, loyalty, and the complexities of political conflicts through the personal experiences of the characters involved in this real-life undercover operation.
