The Fourth War

In this gripping drama-thriller, two Cold War adversaries locked in a personal dispute threaten to escalate into a full-blown conflict along the German-Czech border. Colonel Jack Knowles and his Russian counterpart, Colonel Valachev, are tough, professional soldiers with a shared aversion to their superiors' methods, whose differences simmer just below the surface of polite tension until they find themselves at odds over a defector's death. As the situation spirals out of control, the two men engage in a series of intense, hand-to-hand combat exchanges that take them from a frozen lake to the brink of war, with heavily armed forces on both sides poised to intervene.
