Watch options. Storyline Edit. Mike Locken is one of the principal members of a group of freelance spies. A significant portion of their work is for the C. The guys who are doublecrossing each other stand around talking about divided loyalties and professionalism doing their best to sound bitter and cynical and somehow idealistic and it'd be a relief if they'd just shoot each other and get it over with. The movie's about an agent James Caan who's double-crossed by an old friend Robert Duvall who tries to kill him.
He's game, though, and takes karate lessons so he can learn how to turn his cane into an instrument of vengeance. Then he gets a call to take another job. The job involves machinations so complicated that I wonder if I've got it right. As nearly as I could tell, the leader of a dissenting Japanese political organization has been marked for assassination, and the CIA wants to protect him until he gets out of the United States.
When he gets back to Japan, he'll be killed anyway, but through some process of deep CIA thinking, that won't matter. So Caan puts together a team made up of one agent who's retired and another one who's gunhappy, and their job is to smuggle the leader, his daughter and followers out of San Francisco and to an offshore rendezvous. Now it just so happens it always does at this point in spy movies that Duvall has been hired to kill the Japanese leader and that both Duvall and Caan are being paid by the same third party.
Why spend good money on both sides of the same fight. The movie never gets around to answering that question, although Duvall and Caan have a final meeting at which they talk about money and how it's all only a job, and Caan in particular is pretty good at the obligatory irony.
You may have gathered that the story's fairly silly.
