Storyline

The A-team successfully organizes the defection of the Russian ballerina Katrina who wants to be reunited with her brother Sasha. She charms Face out of his clothes to sneak out and inform Soviet agent Dimitri Shasta Kovich, who they fought in Vietnam, but the team had anticipated her double game; the Russian however hires them to help prevent mad Soviet Colonel Ivan Pedavich stealing super-secret laser-satellite Abraxis which could trigger a nuclear war. So they first must break into the Soviet consulate-general, then get Katrina back and find & eliminate the KGB-trained terrorist and his satellite. They find the CIA and MP general Fulbright on their path, but should cooperate for the national good and world peace...
