Over deze film

Three legendary actors -- Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon and Paul Scofield -- star in this masterful spy thriller, an action-packed tale of espionage, friendship, and betrayal that was filmed on location in Washington, Paris and Vienna. With its intense action, breathtaking suspense and fabulous supporting cast that includes John Colicos and Gayle Hunnicutt, "Scorpio" is a bold and powerful modern classic. Lancaster is Agent Cross, a C.I.A. operative with a shocking secret; Delon is Scorpio, a French assassin long mentored by Cross, with a hard-earned reputation for always getting his man. Brave, intelligent and lethal, both are experts in their field. And when they're thrust together by personal ambitions and political forces beyond their control, each man finds himself fighting for his life amidst the brutal realities of the Cold War! Michael Winner directs this chilling scenario of international espionage and intrigue.
