Bullet to Beijing

Bullet to Beijing

"Bullet to Beijing" is a 1995 made-for-television movie that continues the adventures of the fictional spy Harry Palmer who appeared in the 1960s films "The Ipcress File", "Funeral in Berlin", and "Billion Dollar Brain", based on books by author Len Deighton. Unlike those earlier films, "Bullet to Beijing" was not associated with Deighton at all.

The film finds Harry Palmer (Michael Caine, reprising his role from the '60s movies) made redundant from MI-6 and then hired to do a job in Saint Petersburg. Before leaving he has a tryst with his old girlfriend Jean Courtney (Sue Lloyd, in her role from "The Ipcress File"). Once in Russia, he meets a variety of characters who may or may not be on his side. The film culminates in a long train ride to Beijing with many adventures along the way.

"Bullet to Beijing" was followed by the sequel "Midnight in Saint Petersburg", which was filmed back-to-back with the first movie.
