The Tailor of Panama is a 2001 Irish-American spy thriller film directed by John Boorman and starring Pierce Brosnan and Geoffrey Rush. Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Gleeson and Daniel Radcliffe in his feature film debut, Catherine McCormack, and Harold Pinter appear in supporting roles. The film, like the book, is inspired in part by Our Man in Havana. It is set in the present day, unlike the book, which was set in the 1990s, before the American withdrawal from the Panama Canal Zone.
