When defense-plant employee Chris Boyce (Hutton) uncovers documents that prove that the CIA is secretly coercing foreign governments, his fast-talking friend Daulton (Penn) convinces him to sell the information to the Soviets. But soon the stakes for both men spin out of control as their plans explode into international scandal! -- container.
