British spy action movies, based on Frederick. Fossey's best-selling novel describes the Soviet intelligence agency's plan to launch a massive plot to destroy friendly relations between NATO and Britain and the United States. They sent a senior intelligence agent to infiltrate a small British town in disguise, waiting for a chance to plant a nuclear bomb at a local US military base to destroy it. The British spy played by Mike Kane did everything possible to prevent the plot from succeeding. Interestingly, Pierce Brosnan, who plays the Soviet spy, later became the nemesis of the Soviet spy. Director John McKenzie handled the atmosphere in a tight manner, while the ice and snow location added to the theatrical scene.
