Telefon

A Russian officer is dispatched to the United States to thwart a sleeper cell of agents programmed to carry out devastating attacks on government institutions upon hearing specific trigger phrases.

In the midst of a Cold War, a KGB agent named Dalchimsky steals a crucial asset, prompting the agency to send Grigori Borzov, a seasoned operative, to the United States to track him down. Meanwhile, seemingly ordinary Americans are mysteriously sent to destroy critical military installations after receiving a phone call. As Borzov delves deeper, he uncovers a sinister plot involving brainwashed operatives, known as TELEFON, who were programmed to assume the identities of deceased Americans and carry out suicide missions upon receiving a specific command phrase. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Borzov must navigate the complex web of espionage and deception to stop the TELEFON agents and find Dalchimsky before it's too late.
