Directed by: Ken Russell

A fanatical billionaire, General Midwinter (Ed Begley), devises a failsafe plan to destroy Russia. For many years he has channelled his vast resources into the construction of a vast computer complex which, when complete, will be used to trigger the Third World War. Then, in the ensuing madness, Midwinter's private army will tip the balance in favour of the West.

At the last moment, Colonel Ross (Guy Doleman) of MI-5 stumbles across the plan. He knows that only one man can save the world from certain doom - Harry Palmer (Michael Caine). But Palmer, no longer working for Her Majesty's Government, doesn't want to know. Ross blackmails Palmer using the gorgeous Anya Signe (Françoise Dorleac) and the dull-witted Leo Newbigen (Karl Malden), as pawns in a little charade.

It's no surprise then when Harry finally finds himself matching wits with the devilish Colonel Stok (Oscar Homolka), not to mention the insane General Midwinter, in a confrontation where the stakes are the very future of the human race.
