A burglar witnesses a murder involving the US president and flees the scene of the crime before the police arrive. However, a dogged detective is swiftly on his trail, and the thief realises he faces a race against time to uncover the evidence before shadowy secret service agents silence him for good. Thriller, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, with Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Judy Davis and Dennis Haysbert.

A master thief coincidentally is robbing a house where a murder—in which the President of the United States is involved—occurs in front of his eyes. He is forced to run, while holding evidence that could convict the President.
