| Leipzig, East Germany. A flashpoint of spies and counterspies, moves and countermoves in a Cold War that couId turn hot - nuclear hot - in seconds. In that periIous city, the CIA asks American physicist James Bower (Montgomery Clift) to meet with a Russian scientist who's eager to share vital information with the West. Simple enough, untiI Bower finds himseIf 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 pIunges into a netherworld of secret microfilm, covert ops, lies and sudden death. In his last film, CIift brings gravitas to an espionage thriIler where paranoia is business as usual and murder is a poIiticaI tool. |
