The back of the box states: "Jeff West (Edward Albert) is a U.S. spy stationed in the Soviet Union during Glasnost. The C.I.A. betrays him and after a fixed trial, West is sentenced to certain death at a dreaded gulag for political prisoners. Through West's resourcefulness, he assumes the name of a dead petty thief rerouting himself to a minimum security camp, where he plans his escape over the icy tundra. Suspicious of West's true identity, Koyla, the camp commander, sends for the beautiful wife of the dead thief. She has the power to expose him, but what ensues is a deep love affair. In a cruel twist, Koyla is reassigned to an outpost at the Bering Strait and takes West with him for one final confrontation. There are only thirty-nine miles of ice that separate Russia and America, and so a brutal game begins. A determined runner pursued by the commander, makes his final run to freedom." This movie was directed by Barry Samson, written by Clifford Coleman, Joshua Stallings, and Joyce Warren, with producer Jeffrey M. Sneller, and music provided by Emilio Kauderer. Although running is essential for the climax of this film, there are also a few scenes where you will see his covert training as he runs in his boots and heavy outerwear through the town and in the forest. This is available in both DVD and VHS from Amazon.com. .
