Hungarian police Colonel Sandor Kosice (Theodore Bikel) escapes across the iron curtain to seek political asylum in Vienna. Capt. Philip J. Lawton (John Bentley) and the authorities are suspicious although Sandor insists that he is running for his life. Philip offers him an opportunity. He is sent back to Budapest to help a scientist escape.
It is a lower quality British B-movie cold war thriller. The staging is rather static after an initial action escape section. It is good that they start getting out into the streets. That adds some of the energy back, but the sound quality is not good. The production quality is simply lower. I don't know these actors but they are doing good work. Despite the quality issue, the movie is good enough to follow.
