No Way Out is told in flashback as Naval officer Tom Farrell (
Kevin Costner) is grilled by his superiors regarding a recent "unpleasantness." While at a Washington party, Tom meets Susan Atwel (
Sean Young), and they're soon sharing a steamy love scene in the back of a limo (marvelously parodied in 1993's
Hot Shots! Part Deux). Several months pass before Tom meets Susan again; he discovers she's the mistress of the US Secretary of Defense David Brice (
Gene Hackman). When Susan is murdered by Brice, his loyal aide (
Will Patton) dutifully destroys the evidence and invents the fallacious theory that a KGB mole was responsible. Tom is assigned to locate that mole -- a perilous situation, since Tom knows that no such mole exists, but must go along with the charade since he was the last person who was seen with Susan.

A Modern-Day Hitchcock-style Spy Thriller.
Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman are the pawns in this 1987 version of Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain filled with endless intrigue about a possible leak in the U.S. Government and the murder of a Senator's mistress. Sean Young and the exotically-gorgeous Iman are always beautiful to watch. For spy movies lovers, this one is for you.
