****SPOILERS**** A young blond and strikingly, as well as Aryan, handsome looking Rutger Hauer is Cris who's a man on the run in the movie as he tries to escape from his captors after being shot by them. Cris later takes off With his now new girlfriend, the guy doesn't have any trouble getting any, Corina who's house in the country he tried to escape to but ended up getting shot and badly wounded by his pursuers. Cris who's a former Luftwaffe, air force, pilot in the in the West German air corps was recruited by this gang of drug smugglers lead by Himmel,no relations to Heinrich Himmler,to smuggle drugs across the North Sea from Germany to Sweden. Finally wanting out Cris double crossed his partners by taking off with one million dollars of drug profits on is final drug run. It's in Cris secretly hiding the money that kept him from being murdered by his fellow drug smugglers.

On the run for his life with the beautiful Corina at his side Cris who escaped again by knifing Himmel from behind while he was tied up in the back seat in his car soon ends up at his friend Frank's place in the woods. It's there where Himmel's men Arthur & Stazi recapture him for the third time, butterfingers, and then threaten to murder his girl Corina if he doesn't tell them where he hid the money with Cris knowing that if he does he's a dead man. So so man on the run flick with the drop dead gorgeous Vera Tschechowa as Corina keeping us men folks interested in watching as the handsome Hauer does for the ladies.

***SPOILERS*** What's been keeping both Cris & Corina alive is his knowledge where the missing million is hidden. With that in mind both Arthur & Stazi, who we later find out is an escaped lunatic from a local mental asylum, try to get Cris to talk. Cris for his part has other ideas and uses them to trick his two captors into him escaping in a nearby lake dressed in a scuba diving wet suit. But the biggest surprise that's saved for last is who's really behind all this murder and mayhem. Who screws himself up in when he has the chance, with Cris finally getting his hands on the hidden million, to finally finish off the pesky Cris lets him live! All that so he can get his two cents in by giving his long awaited speech, which no one but him is really interested in, that gave Cris all the time that he needed to finally finish him off!
