Wrong Is Right

“In a moment World War III...but first a word from our sponsor.”

Television newsman Patrick Hale (Sean Connery) is chasing two suitcase-sized nuclear weapons across the globe, and the trail runs through bugged offices, spy satellites and a tangle of American agencies. Richard Brooks, adapting Charles McCarry's novel, keeps the pace brisk and the politics sour. Hale's closest ally is Sally Blake (Katharine Ross), and the two of them depend on each other as the people around them keep lying.
