Harrys life with Natasha is disrupted when a young, overzealous CIA agent, Dave Glenn Plummer, comes to Helsinki to intercept a videotape encoded with state secrets en route from New York City. The videotapes hidden code is so sensitive that those who come in contact with the tape are soon killed. Dave is pursuing the unsuspecting courier, a manic exbond trader named Max Bruno Kirby, who is unaware of what he is carrying. Max took the job by chance, following his recent prison term for stock market fraud. Natasha sees the videotape as a possible ticket out of the SVR and into the United States and the American Dream. In fact, everyone involved except Harry is planning to exploit the encoded videotape. Harrys only plan is to prevent Natasha from getting herself killedor worse, from leaving him for U.S.Director Ilkka JrviLaturi wanted Bill Pullman for the lead character of Harry. When we started casting, I knew right away that Bill was our man to play Harry ... Hes an absolute natural for the partintelligent, wry, and charmingly good looking. Producer Kerry Rock saw Bill in more practical terms Bill was the cornerstone of the casting process. We needed someone the right age, who was enough of a name, who could do the humor as well as being scary and believably violent at the tough spots of the story. Costar Bruno Kirby also found Bill to be the perfect match The great thing about Bill is that he looks very straight, but if you look him in the eye, theres a real crazy sense of humor there. ........
