REEL SCIENCE Find the technological validity behind Hollywood’s most outrageous espionage inventions
On National Geographic Channel, “Hollywood Science: Spy Gadgets” will investigate the technological validity behind Hollywood’s most outrageous espionage inventions. Spy gadgets were granted their own brand of sex appeal with the in
troduction of the James Bond films in the 1960s. Inevitably, the world of James Bond was imitated and spoofed – but surprisingly, the shoe phone used by bumbling TV spy Maxwell Smart on Get Smart was echoed in real life, when Communist block spies bugged a western diplomats shoe to monitor his activity. In a world where all of us have the ability to become spies thanks to consumer surveillance devices available at your local electronics store, Hollywood espionage dramas continue to reflect the world of real-life spies, while providing a preview of what lies just beyond the realm of possibility.
Watch “Hollywood Science: Spy Gadgets” on National Geographic tonight at 9 p.m.
