The Deadly Recruits (1986)
Terence Stamp - David Audley
Carmen du Sautoy - Faith Audley
Michael Culver - Nick Hannah
Robin Sachs - Hugh Roskill
During the Cold War Oxford's best students, male and female, are being convicted of criminal offenses, are suffering fatal accidents or are simply disappearing. An old school master believes the KBG may be carrying out a plot to ruin England's future leaders and asks history profesor Dr. David Audley, an expert in Arabic and Persian history, who doubles as a British inteligence agent to investigate. David Audley is assisted by his wife Faith Audley (asked to check into the disappearance of a female student because easier for a woman to check out the womens colleges) and by fellow agents Nick Hannah (asked to impersonate an army colonel whose an amateur historian with knowledge of Roman military actions -- he knows knowing about Roman wars) and Hugh Roskill (asked to keep an eye on David's wife depsite having a broken leg).
When two shots are fired at a car he's riding in without hitting the driver, him or the other passanger and the shooter turns out to be a professional marksman who could not have posibly missed Dr. Audley becomes convinced that something even more important than discrediting college students is going on.
According to a review at the IMdb this is a spin off from a British tv series titled "Chessgame" which is based on novels by Anthony Price. I've never heard of the series before nor have I read the books.
Terence Stamp played General Zod in Superman (1978) and Superman 2 (1980), Supreme Chancellor Valorum in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) and is the voice of Jor-El in Smallville (2003-2006 so far). Some Smallville viewers thought Jor-El would turn out to be Zod but of course that isn't what happened. Jor-El is Smallville is just a computer simulation.
During a scene in which the David talks with his wife while she is taking a bath the camera is careful not to show too much. No R rating on this tv movie.
Not bad for a $1 (50 cents if you consider there's 2 films on the DVD. The other film is Death Merchants.
