Originally The Assassination Game, the title of this spy flick was changed at the last minute in the interests of topicality. Robert Rusler heads the cast as a wet-behind-the-ears CIA agent. When a major international crisis looms, Russier is forced to align himself with world-weary KGB agent Theodore Bikel. The two natural enemies struggle manfully to prevent a political assassination that might heat up the Cold War all over again. A dash of last-reel action is thrown in to wake up the audience. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
