Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this political espionage thriller, a rookie CIA agent is unofficially assigned to keep a fanatical Lithuanian assassin from vengefully killing Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader whom the killer blames for the death of his own family. The film was made during the Eastern bloc political tumult of the early '90s and was shot on location in Germany, Bulgaria, and the former Soviet Union.
