Elite mercenaries and close friends Mike Locken (James Caan) and George Hansen (Robert Duvall) work for ComTeg, an organization contracted to do covert assignments for the CIA. But a shocking betrayal on a dangerous assignment leaves Locken broken in body and spirit. Badly injured, Locken spends months in recovery, then undertakes martial arts training with the goal of one day getting revenge on the man who betrayed him. Peckinpah’s most self-conscious action film ups the ante on explosions, gunplay and wounded machismo. The martial arts element, including a ninja death squad, was still novel for American-made films in 1975 but anticipates action trends that would fully flower in ‘80s Hollywood.
