Spione é um thriller de espionagem silencioso alemão de 1928 dirigido por Fritz Lang e coescrito com sua esposa, Thea von Harbou, que também escreveu um romance de mesmo nome, publicado um ano depois. O filme foi o penúltimo filme silencioso de Lang e o primeiro para sua própria empresa de produção, Fritz Lang-Film GmbH. Assim como nos filmes de Mabuse de Lang, Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler (1922) e The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933), Rudolf Klein-Rogge interpreta um criminoso mestre que visa a dominação mundial.

“I played it slightly tongue-in-cheek because I never quite believed that James Bond was a spy because everybody knew him, they all knew what he drank. He’d walk into a bar and it would always be, 'Ah, Commander Bond, martini, shaken not stirred.’ Spies are faceless people.”
“O children of Adam, let not the devil seduce you, as he expelled your parents from the garden, pulling off from them their clothing that he might show them their shame. He surely sees you, he as well as his host, from whence you see them not. Surely We have made the devils to be the friends of those who believe not.”
“No spy, however astute, is proof against relentless interrogation. Some unforseen circumstance, some trivial lapse, is pounced upon, exploited by the interrogator, until a break is complete.”
“Indeed, there may well be many who will agree that death by hanging is almost too good for a sailor who will encompass the death of thousands of his shipmates without qualm.”
“To MI5, if you steam this open you are dirty buggers.”
