Synopsis

Political double-talk, dirty tricks, hidden microphones, spy satellites, bugging the Oval Office and a nuclear bomb for sale are all ingredients in this swift, funny and frightening look at the possibilities in today's political arenas. Sean Connery stars as TV Newsman Patrick Hale on an international chase to track two suitcase sized nuclear weapons and to uncover the twisting maze of apparent involvement of US Government agencies.

Political satire and Bond adjacent. Sean was riding high on post-Bond era, and he puts it to use with his character of Hale in this movie. The story isn't more ludicrous than anything that Bond ever did, and is in fact more grounded because it involves multiple nations all scheming against one another for their own ends, rather than as a uniform specter of an enemy. It is fantastically cast and while it is an artifact of the late seventies and at times a bit disjointed, it still serves its narrative really well and comes across as very genuine and very successful in its satire of its age.
