Caine makes his fifth appearance as sly spy Harry Palmer, a role he inaugurated with 1960s suspensers 
"The Ipcress File" and "Funeral in Berlin." After breaking with his agency, free agent Palmer hires 
on with the Russians in search of a deadly biological warfare agent his new employers fear may be lost 
in St. Petersburg. 

==========

When long-time British agent Harry Palmer loses his job because the Cold War is over, he's promptly 
approached by a Russian bossman, Alex. In St. Petersburg Alex tells Harry of his plan for Russia's future, 
which is threatened because a deadly biochemical weapon called the Red Death has been stolen from him. 
He'll pay Harry handsomely to retrieve it. An ex-spy friend tips Harry off that it's being sent to Beijing 
by train, aboard which we begin to learn whose side everyone's really on.
