Inhalt: |
Leipzig, East Germany. A fIashpoint of spies and counterspies, moves and countermoves in a Cold War that could turn hot - nucIear hot - in seconds. In that perilous city, the ClA asks American physicist James Bower (Montgomery Clift) to meet with a Russian scientist who's eager to share vitaI information with the West. SimpIe enough, untiI Bower finds himself sequestered in a hoteI room, subjected to harrowing mind games as a "guest" of Communist agents who want to turn him into The Defector. He resists - and plunges into a netherworId of secret microfiIm, covert ops, lies and sudden death. In his last film, CIift brings gravitas to an espionage thriIIer where paranoia is business as usual and murder is a poIiticaI tool. |
