Dabney Coleman is sort of a renegade CIA inside the CIA he has to eliminate those that know. Through a series of misdirections he is convinced that Richard (Tom Hanks) is the informant that knows his secret. Naturally Tom is innocent. Now watch as Richard unknowingly brushes with death several times. Will this ever get cleared up and what happens to the different parties in this cat and mouse game.
This is one of Tom Hanks's best. It may get lost in the total of his movies. However it is a must see. I did not see the French movie "The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe" this is supposed to be a remake of, yet given the cast and their enthusiasm in the movie it could only be an improvement. It was interesting that Richard (Tom Hanks) and Morris (James Belushi) used bicycles for transportation. Many parts of the film would not have worked if they were in automobiles or on foot.
I guess the moral of this story is that you have to watch your feet
