Flashpoint (1984)

In the arid expanse of the Texas desert, fate smiles on two U.S. Border Patrol agents - Bob Logan, a young firebrand, and his older, more jaded partner, Ernie Wyatt. A startling discovery of a jeep, buried for over two decades, presents an unexpected crossroad. Inside, they uncover a chilling tableau: a skeleton in the driver's seat, a high-powered rifle paired with a fishing rod, and a staggering $850,000 in cash stored securely in a metal container. As the thrill of their find fades, the eerie remnants of the former driver - a Texas driver's license and a cryptic note with a Washington, D.C. area code, offer a tantalizing mystery. Logan, driven by greed, sees the cash as an express ticket to an opulent life, while Wyatt, the skeptic, is distracted by the skeletal puzzle in the jeep, intrigued to unravel the indistinct past it hints at. Their decision to hold onto the money while discreetly investigating the enigmatic driver's identity sets off a dangerous chain reaction. Suddenly, they find themselves caught in the crosshairs of relentless federal agents. It becomes increasingly clear that the buried jeep is a piece of a larger, darker puzzle that may be linked to the JFK assassination. As the agents delve deeper into the mystery, they quickly realize they've stumbled onto a federal cover-up, one that the powers that be are desperate to hide, willing to silence anyone who knows about the jeep. In 'Flashpoint,' a seemingly fortunate find spirals into a harrowing ordeal that tests the agents' friendship and courage, plunging them into a world of intrigue, deception, and murder. This gripping drama navigates the treacherous paths of greed, loyalty, and the dangerous truths that lurk beneath the surface.
