Two people from opposite sides are working together. The one on "our side" is a man and the one on "the other side" is a woman. Likely reasons for this: | |

In Summer Knight, Harry is hired by the Winter Fae to solve a case. Of course, since this is Fae business, the Summer Court assigns a representative to the investigation—who turns out to be Elaine Mallory, Harry's own Old Flame who now works for the Summer. | |

Jason Matthews's Red Sparrow has Nate Nash, a CIA officer handling a Russian mole within the SVR, and Dominika Egorova, an SVR officer trained as a Sparrow (seductress), who's assigned to Nate to try and learn from him who the mole is. Not only does Nate manage to turn Dominika and get her to spy for the Americans as well, but they end up getting into a relationship that gets massively complicated by all the responsibilities and deceptions that their chosen profession entails. | |

Ninotchka has a romance between a male French aristocrat and a female Soviet "true believer", the latter being the title character. Being made before the Cold War, it's something of a proto-example and lacks the Enemy Mine aspect. | |

Happens near the end of Spies Like Us. Having resigned themselves to The End of the World as We Know It after the missile is launched, Emmett (Chevy Chase) takes Karen (Donna Dixon) aside and the two male Russians hook up with each other, leaving Austin (Dan Akroyd) with the cute Russian girl (Vanessa Angel). As she's sitting in his lap during the "peace negotiations" in the end, it seems to have lasted for a while, at least. | |

James Bond examples: From Russia with Love is the likely Trope Codifier, with Bond being sent to extract a sexy cryptology technician Tatiana "Tania" Romanova from the Soviet consulate in Istanbul. In The Spy Who Loved Me, James Bond works with Major Anya Amasova of the KGB. Despite the fact that he killed her lover (in self defense), she naturally falls in love with him by the end of the movie. The Living Daylights has Bond and Czechoslovakian cellist Kara Milovy. The trope lingered on in Goldeneye with Natalya Simonova (Russian computer programmer who works on the title satellite's guidance system). In Tomorrow Never Dies, Britain has James Bond investigate media baron Eliot Carver and his news media operation in order to prevent war with China. China sends Femme Fatale Wai Lin. Though in this case, Britain and China are not so much on opposite sides as trying to preserve a rather cordial relationship Carver is trying to upset. The World Is Not Enough plays with this, a British woman is with the Russian man, and it's a case of A Match Made in Stockholm. They're an Outlaw Couple and the Big Bad Duumvirate. |

Gender-reversed in the Vorkosigan Saga, this is how Cordelia and Aral met in Shards of Honor. But here, a woman is the English-speaking hero and a man is the Russian-speaking antagonist, at least until Aral becomes a protagonist. Played With because, in the end, it is Cordelia who defects to live with Aral on Barrayar, albeit quite pushed to this by her own planet's authorities. Notably inspired by The Man from U.N.C.L.E. which has a number of references within. |

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Our Man Bashir" has Julian Bashir's character in a holodeck scenario, a character based on James Bond, working together with a female KGB agent named Anastasia who, naturally, is head-over-heels for him. Due to an unusual set of malfunctions started when a Cardassian terrorist group sabotages a runabout containing most of the rest of Deep Space 9's senior staff, Anastasia ends up with the body of Kira Nerys. (For bonus points, actors Alexander Siddig and Nana Visitor were in a Romance on the Set at the time.) | |

2010: The Year We Make Contact focuses on a joint American-Soviet space expedition. The American side is led by a man and the Soviet side is led by a woman. There's no romance, although when the expedition's ship undergoes a nerve-wracking navigational maneuver, one of the Soviet female crew-members seeks platonic comfort in the bunk of the aforementioned American male. | |

Subverted in the 1985 action-comedy Gotcha. A virgin UCLA college student is seduced by an older Czech woman who turns out to be a spy. At the end of the movie they have an angry confrontation and her accent slips, causing her to admit that she's actually a CIA agent from Pittsburgh. | |

It's almost literally a case of "When Harry Met Svetlana" on the Night Court episode "Russkie Business." Judge Harry Stone is trying to get a visa for his friend Yakov Kurulenko, so Yakov can visit his ailing mother in the Soviet Union. The Soviet consul assigned to Yakov's case turns out to be a gorgeous woman named Ludmila, who's as attracted to Harry as he is to her. They spend their time together alternately discussing Yakov's case, arguing, gazing into each other's eyes and making out. | |
