在这部柏林间谍战冒险片中,由南奈利．约翰逊导演的一部故事构想相当巧妙的间谍斗智片。
描述一位派驻西柏林的美军下士，被俄国间谍劫持往东柏林作人质，目的是要跟美国交换一位德国将领。负责此事件的美军上校，以其人之道还治其人之身，将被俘下士救了回来。节奏紧凑，特别是片中的几个悬疑镜头让人回味无穷，娱乐性也颇为浓厚。
Post WWII yarn about a young GI abducted by the Soviets in West Berlin and hauled off to the East. His recovery gets complicated as Colonel Steve Van Dyke (Peck) tries to sort out the usefulness of informants, spies, bureaucrats, and the abductee's influential father (Crawford)!
