g young agents and then brainwashing them into believing that they are Americans. They would assume the identity of an American who died a long time ago and who would be their age now. They would be situated in a city that is near or where a key U.S. military installation is located. They were also programmed to destroy upon receiving the command phrase. They have been fortunate that they have never had to send them on their missions. But they believe that Dalchimsky stole the book that lists all the TELEFON agents and is now sending them out on their suicide missions. It also seems that the current KGB Chairman is unaware of TELEFON so Strelsky and Malchenko want Borzov to go to America and find Dalchimsky before he starts World War 3. Borzov, who is endowed with a photographic memory, memorizes the second TELEFON book and goes to America and is aided by Barbara.

Charles Bronson stars as ace KGB agent Col. Grigori Borzov in Don Siegel's adaptation of Walter Wager's Cold War thriller. It seems that in the 1950s, at the height of the cold war, the Soviet Union planted a network of agents in the United States. They were programmed, under hypnosis, to blow up key military installations when activated by hearing a line from a Robert Frost poem. In the 1970s, Nicolai Dalchimsky (Donald Pleasence), a fanatical KGB agent, has decided to begin activating this network. The Kremlin, which had no awareness of the program, finally grasps what has happened after a series of explosions ...

occurs at abandoned U.S. installations. Realizing that they can't reveal the problem to U.S. officials, they choose to send their best agent, Borzov, to stop Dalchimsky before he starts WWIII. Along the way Bronson is forced to work with another KGB intelligence officer, Barbara (Lee Remick), who proves to be a double agent, as well as accepting help from computer expert Dorothy Putterman (Tyne Daly). Solid evidence that at the height of his box-office appeal Bronson could have gotten a seed catalog made into a big-budget movie, the film likely suffered from its tumultous production history, showing little of Siegel's signature style. On the bright side, Daly scores as a techie, and Bronson, mercifully, makes absolutely no attempt at a Russian accent.
