Bobby Bishop is a special assistant to the President of the United States. Accidentally, he meets his friend professor Pochenko on the street. Pochenko has time to tell Bishop about some conspiracy in the White House but then immediately gets killed by an assassin. Now bad guys are after Bobby as the only man who knows about a plot. Bishop must now not only survive, but to stop the conspirators from achieving their goal. And he doesn't know whom to trust.
George P. Cosmatos directs this 1997 political thriller about a presidential aide who, after a chance street encounter with an old friend, becomes the only man aware of a deadly conspiracy inside the White House. Hunted by assassins and unsure who to trust, he must survive long enough to expose the plot. Paranoid and chase-driven, the film trades on Washington intrigue and shifting loyalties. Carrying a MagicMovieScore of 5.0, it is aimed at viewers who enjoy conventional conspiracy thrillers centered on an ordinary insider caught between shadowy power players and a ticking clock.
