Once a year, a reporter invites some dear friends
over for a fun-filled weekend. Shortly before this
year's shindig however, the CIA convinces the journalist
that some of these buddies are also Russian operatives;
the agency even outfits his home with surveillance
equipment. Will he trust his friends and betray his
country, or will he uncover the secret agenda behind the
operation?
The guests arrive, but they eventually
realize what's going on -- and their host's new
misgivings. The weekend then takes on a decidedly
different tone.
Director Sam Peckinpah had not made a
film in five years when he made The Osterman Weekend,
which turned out to be his last film; he died of a hear
attack in 1984.
Christopher Starr portrayed Steve Tanner and director
Peckinpah's daughter Kristen played Tremayne's
secretary.
The film is dedicated to the memory of Helmut Dantine!!
