Charged with high-voltage tension and suspense, the electrifying thriller No Way Out is a tightly wound tale of intrigue set in the political whirl of Washington and the inner corridors of the Pentagon. Naval hero Lieutenant Commander Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) becomes the CIA liaison for Defense Secretary David Brice (Gene Hackman) — only to find himself ensnared in a deadly cover-up when Brice's mistress (Sean Young), also Farrell's secret lover, turns up murdered. Based on Kenneth Fearing's classic noir novel The Big Clock, with cinematography by John Alcott (Barry Lyndon) and a score by Maurice Jarre.
