Martin Bishop is the head of a group of experts who specialise in testing security systems. When he is blackmailed by Government agents into stealing a top secret black box, the team find themselves embroiled in a game of danger and intrigue. After they recover the box, they discover that it has the capability to decode all existing encryption systems around the world, and that the agents who hired them didn't work for the Government after all...

Trivia
In Three Days of the Condor starring Robert Redford, a CIA building is hit. Subsequently, a list of the casualties is displayed, the final two names on the list being Martin and Bishop, which is Redford's alias in Sneakers. See more »Goofs
Continuity: There is no way that Martin could have traversed Cosmo's office at two inches per second and back during the time that Werner Brandes somehow figures out that Liz is in cahoots with Martin, and furthermore, could not have dropped down into Brandes' office, packed up and gotten back above the ceiling in the short amount of time it took to get from Playtronics lobby to Brandes' office.
