Synopsis:
In 1974, flanked by such filmic monuments to paranoia and corruption as
Chinatown and The Parallax View, Elliott Gould and Donald
Sutherland tried to re-create the screwball nonchalance of their earlier
M*A*S*H performances in this lightweight spy spoof. Gould and Sutherland play two CIA agents, who are marked for death by their own agency after botching the defection of a
Russian ballet dancer. As they repeatedly mess up their
assignments and wriggle out of tight corners, they not only find themselves
pursued by the CIA, but also by the KGB, the Chinese Communists, and a
terrorist group that wants to destroy the CIA.
