A tightly wound and engrossing thriller!" (The Hollywood Reporter). Imagine being a hunter leading highly trained bloodhounds in pursuit of a killer... and the trail leads directly to you! Starring Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman, "No Way Out" is "a mesmerizing look at Washington power" (The Hollywood Reporter). In a fit of rage, Secretary of Defense David Brice (Hackman) murders his mistress (Sean Young). To keep a lid on the scandal, Brice's loyal aide (Will Patton) creates the perfect cover-up: he "invents" a more enticing killer - a Russian spy - and then enlists Naval Commander Tom Farrell (Costner) to find him. But as a chilling twist of fate would have it, Farrell also has a strong connection to the victim... and now all the clues he's been hired to uncover are leading straight to him! In a desperate race against time, Farrell's search for the killer is not only a matter of national security, but also a matter of saving his own hide.
