For veteran CIA black ops assassin Cross (Burt Lancaster), his last job task before retirement was to mentor contract killer Jean "Scorpio" Laurier (Alain Delon) as his replacement. Unfortunately, the company higher-ups believe that Cross is in the Soviets' pocket-and Scorpio's first gig will be a globe-trotting chase to take his erstwhile trainer out. Crackling cat-and-mouse co-stars Paul Scofield, John Colicos, Gayle Hunnicutt, J.D. Cannon. 114 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
