Synopsis
You can try to walk away from a dangerous line of work, but some people just won't let you. Ken Russell's "Billion Dollar Brain" brings back Michael Caine as Harry Palmer, now a struggling private eye, who is blackmailed by British intelligence into taking on his wildest assignment yet. A courier job for an old friend, American Leo Newbigen (Karl Malden), leads Harry to Helsinki and into the orbit of General Midwinter (Ed Begley), a fanatical Texas oil billionaire determined to wipe out Communism by igniting an uprising in Soviet Latvia. His secret weapon is a massive supercomputer that directs his private network of agents. Racing from London to Finland, Latvia and Texas, Harry must figure out whom to trust among Newbigen, the alluring Anya (Françoise Dorléac) and the wily Soviet Colonel Stok (Oskar Homolka). It's the final film in Caine's original 1960s Palmer trilogy, and you'll find him at his cool, sardonic best.
