Review of The Fourth Protocol (1987) by Dylan L — 12 Apr 2008
I caught this recently on "The History Channel,' which is apropriate since the Cold War would end two years after this film was released (when the Berlin Wall came down in December 1989) and the Soviet Union would be disolved within four years of this film's release (1991).
Pierce Brosnan is cast as a top-Soviet agent who is undertaking an unauthorized mission on behalf of his hard-liner KGB superior who wants to detonate a small nuclear device next to a U.S. air base in England during a "No Nukes" rally. This would serve to damage the special relationship between England and the U.S.A., and would weaken the position of moderates in the Soviet government.
The cold-blooded assasin is opposed by a top British agent played by Michael Caine. Caine's character pieces together what Brosnan is up to and stops him, in the nick-of-time.
A very good late-Cold War thriller with a good cast.
