The plot of this movie hinges around the potential release of the N.O.C. list. Traditionally, when a spy is caught, the spy's home country will admit that the person was a spy, and get that person back by releasing a spy they have captured from the same country that captured theirs. A N.O.C. Agent, or Non-Official Cover, is disavowed by his or her own country should he or she be captured - which essentially means he or she would be executed as an unauthorized spy. Thus, this list falling into the wrong hands would result in several spies being killed. The concern about blowing such an Agent's cover is also no longer just a fantasy concocted for a movie. Valerie Plame Wilson was a N.O.C. Agent, and her public outing as a spy jeopardized many operations on which she was working, as shown in Fair Game - Caccia alla spia (2010).
