- Synopsis:
- The KGB has a particularly evasive spy to eliminate: a high-ranking Kremlin traitor who has been leaking crucial secrets to London. Bucharensky, code-name Kyril (Ian Charleson), is ordered to defect to catch the attention of the intelligence services of both East and West, setting himself up as a target and drawing fire from all sides as he makes his way across Europe to London; the object of his mission is to panic the traitor into making a mistake. But waiting in London is Kyril's deadliest enemy: Royston (Edward Woodward), a KGB mole whose life now depends upon silencing Kyril before he can disclose Royston's identity as a Soviet double agent...
