John Travolta (a much younger John Travolta) plays the accidental "ear-witness" to a politically motivated murder. Nancy Allen plays a phenomenally ditsy sidekick / love interest, whose stupidity turns the scene intended as a suspenseful climax into a near-comedic head-smacking fest. (My thought: "What does he see in this dopeface, anyway? If she does die after so many idiotic moves, then Darwinism will have run its proper course.")

An interesting aspect to note was the detective work by Travolta's chararcter in putting together the sound recording and film to figure out what happened at the scene of the crime. I enjoyed that bit. Otherwise, a mostly run of the mill conspiracy flick.
