   Was Oleg Penkovsky arrested in the Courier based on a true story?

   • In real life, The Courier's true story-inspired dual protagonist Oleg Penkovsky was arrested in October of 1962. After Penkovsky and Greville Wynne were caught by the KGB, which happened very similar to how their capture is depicted in the film, the GRU lieutenant colonel was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death by firing squad.
