No Way Out -- A taut suspense thriller set within the protected inner-reaches of the Pentagon. A beautiful woman is brutally murdered, and the secretary of defense brings in a young naval commander to find the killer. The secretary doesn't know that the girl and the commander were in love, but the commander knows that the secretary killed her.

In a fit of rage, Secretary of Defense David Brice (Gene Hackman) murders his mistress. To keep a lid on the scandal, Brice's loyal aide (Will Patton) creates the perfect cover-up: he "invents" a more enticing killer - a Russian spy - and enlists naval commander Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) to find him. But as a chilling twist of fate would have it, Farrell also has a strong connection to the victim, and now all of the clues he's been hired to uncover are leading straight to him! In a desperate race against time, Farrell's search for the killer is not only a matter of national security, but also a matter of saving his own life.

At a Washington, D.C., bash, Navy officer Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) meets and begins a steamy liaison with Susan Atwell (Sean Young), later learning she's the mistress of Secretary of Defense David Brice (Gene Hackman). When Susan ends up dead, Farrell gets caught in a conspiratorial web that endangers national security and uncovers high-level personal secrets. Brice and his minions attempt to conceal the tryst while flushing out a Soviet mole.

Robert Redford plays an ex-world champion cowboy, reduced to huckstering breakfast food in a suit studded with flashing lights. Jane Fonda is a chic, sharp member of the electronic media, a TV newswoman who'll do anything to get a good story. When Redford rides out of a Las Vegas casino into the desert astride his sponsor's living symbol, a multi-million dollar racehorse, Jane is determined to discover why. She does, one step ahead of a posse of pursuing police. But by the time they reach a remote rendezvous high in the Utah Mountains, she is in love with both the cowboy and his convictions.
