Enigma (1982)

In the icy grip of the Cold War, the C.I.A. uncovers a chilling Russian scheme to eliminate five defectors on Christmas Day. The identities of these targets remain shrouded in mystery. Amidst this tension, the enigmatic Alex Holbeck, a defector himself, is enlisted in Paris and dispatched to the shadowy streets of East Berlin. His mission is to pilfer the scrambler of the Enigma, a sophisticated device used by the Soviet intelligence for clandestine communication. Upon landing, however, Holbeck finds himself at the heart of a dangerous cat-and-mouse game. The K.G.B. and the East German authorities are already hot on his trail, and his contacts have been ensnared. His only ray of hope lies in his former lover, the shrewd lawyer Karen Reinhardt, who provides him a sanctuary amidst the chaos. Meanwhile, Russian Agent Dimitri Vasilikov and East German Agent Kurt Limmer deploy their cunning and resources to track Holbeck. As the chase intensifies, a web of seduction and deception unfolds. Karen uses her charms on Dimitri, aiming to extract critical information on the whereabouts of the soldiers that Holbeck requires. However, unbeknownst to Holbeck, the C.I.A. already has the scrambler. He is now merely the bait in this high-stakes espionage game, a ploy to convince the Russians they are still in control. The plot thickens as the line between allies and enemies blurs, and the clock ticks down to a thrilling climax.
