Palestinian intelligence says she's loyal to their cause. Israeli counter-intelligence says she's "bright, creative, underused, romantic and a liar." Academy award winner Diane Keaton stars as Charlie, a repertory actress and Palestinian sympathizer who plays the role of -- and for -- her life when she's thrust onto the center stage of international espionage. Klaus Kinski and Yorgo Voyagis costar as shrewd Israeli operatives who plot to use Charlie as bait to capture an elusive Palestinian terrorist (Sami Frey). Director George Roy Hill masterfully arranges the pieces of this cloak-and-dagger puzzle based on John le Carré's best seller into a dazzling thriller racing full tilt through London, Munich, Athens, Jerusalem and Beirut. March to the enthralling beat of The Little Drummer Girl.

Based on the novel by John le Carré.
