The Russia House

Video Synopsis

Oscar winner Sean Connery and Oscar nominee Michelle Pfeiffer deliver exceptional performances as two people caught within a world of spies and politics, whose love could prove fatal to them both. When Katya (Pfeiffer), a beautiful Russian book editor, attempts to send British publisher Barley Blair (Connery) a manuscript written by a noted Soviet scientist, she unwittingly draws them both into a world of international espionage. The manuscript, which contains information that could alter the balance of world power, is intercepted by the West's spy-masters who then send Blair to Russia to gain more information on the mysterious document. But when Blair meets Katya, he finds himself torn between his mission and the woman whose passion for her country -- and for Blair -- knows no bounds.

With an international cast that includes Roy Scheider (Jaws), Klaus Maria Brandauer (Out of Africa), James Fox (A Passage to India), John Mahoney (Frantic), a riveting script and breathtaking Russian locations, The Russia House is a filmmaking tour-de-force and "the year's most sophisticated, suspenseful and sexy entertainment" (Cosmopolitan).
