Oscar-winner Paul Newman ("The Sting," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Nobody's Fool") is an alcoholic American writer who unexpectedly wins the Nobel Prize. When he arrives in Stockholm for the ceremonies, he stumbles into an international spy ring. A taught suspenseful spy thriller co-starring Academy Award-honoree Edward G. Robinson ("Little Caesar," "Double Indemnity," "Soylent Green"), international star Elke Sommer ("A Shot in the Dark") and Oscar-nominee Kevin McCarthy ("Death of a Salesmen," "Invasion of the Body Snatchers").

Top writers, scientists and leaders converge annually on Stockholm to take part in the awarding of the prestigious Nobel Prizes. This year, however, some honorees will find the great event eclipsed by a greater challenge: staying alive.
