Billion Dollar Brain

A fanatical billionare called General Midwinter (Ed Begley) devises a failsafe plan to destroy Russia. For many years he has channelled his vast resources into the construction of a fantastic computer complex which, when complete, will be used to trigger the Third World War. Then, in the ensuing madness Midwinter's private army will tip the balance in favour of the West. At the last moment Colonel Ross (Guy Doleman) of MI-5 stumbles across the plan. He knows that only one man can save the world from certain doom-Harry Palmer (Michael Caine). But Palmer doesn't want to know. Ross blackmails palmer using the gorgeous Signe (Francoise Dorleac) and the dull-witted Newbegin (Karl Malden) as pawns in a little charade. It is no surprise then that Palmer finally finds himself matching wits with the devilish Colonel Stok not to mention the insane General Midwinter in a confrontation where the stakes are the future of the human race.
