After a long career destabilizing governments at home and abroad, CIA operative Chris Carlisle (John Malkovich) has received a terminal cancer diagnosis and knows he has fewer days ahead than behind. The 1973 coup that ousted democratically elected Marxist Salvador Allende and installed the ruthless, CIA-backed Augusto Pinochet is going to be Carlisle’s swan song. He’s been the Leonard Zelig of political assassinations for over a generation, but not even Kissinger lived forever.
