Plot line

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2007)

Since all the action scenes are covered, lemme describe the plot line. There are a few suspect German agents in Britain. For some time classified information which only the British intelligence and high ranking officers knew passes into German hands. Vice Admiral Rolland plays a game to flush them out. He plans a crash of an American general (who is a corporal) and asks all suspect agents to go on the rescue mission. The ace up his sleeve is Major John Smith himself who is a double agent working for Britain while passing useless info to the Germans! How he convinces the suspects to provide the top German operatives names in the presence of the German officers is superb drama! Read below -
Burton comes in holding the gun against the Germans. He then threatens the American 'punk' to drop the gun and sides with the Germans. He begins to prove his credentials as a German agent. He explains that the others were (his team mates) German agents but captured and now working for the British MI6. He presents his proof in 3 parts.
a. If he is not the German agent, what is he doing here in the company of Germans? And why would he expose the British agents if he was a British agent?
b. Secondly if the suspects claim to be on the German side, then they would know the names of the German operatives or their contact in Britain. He gives them slips and asks each one to note all the names for comparison with his list.
c. He makes them ring a Field Marshall in Italy to confirm that he is indeed a German agent. On confirmation, all the suspects, in their eagerness to prove they too are on the German side, write the names. He gives the books to a German officer and asks him to compare with his own list (Actually blank).
By the time it dawns on the officer that it was a trick to reveal the names, they are under arrest again by the American punk! Guess who is the spymaster?
The drama keeps you on tenterhooks. The mind-boggling action scenes, (mind you - no animation,) test your nerves regularly. Glue yourself to the sofa, or better, nail yourself, else the suspense may throw you! Be warned - ?+?
