Defense Of The Realm (1986)
|
|
"Two thumbs up! An exciting, realistic thriller!" -Siskel & Ebert
"Taut, extremely entertaining" (Leonard Maltin) and laden with suspense, this fast-moving chiller stars Gabriel Byrne as a Cold War reporter who discovers that free speech comes at a deadly price. Co-starring Greta Scacchi and Denholm Elliott, Defense of the Realm is "electrifying, terrifying" and will leave you "limp from controlled tension" (Los Angeles Times)!
When a tawdry sex scandal links a high-ranking British politician to a Russian KGB agent, ambitious newsman Nick Mullen (Byrne) swiftly gets the story on Page One. But when his scoop-of-the-decade begins to unravel the cover-up-of-the-century-involving military secrets, nuclear weapons, and government murders-Mullen and the politician's beautiful secretary (Scacchi) find themselves ensnared in a web of dead intrigue...where every move could be their last!
