The Eiger Sanction

Tense film thriller. Ex-hitman Jonathan Hemlock accepts one last government-sanctioned mission. His devious boss, however, has other plans for the assassin.

Dragged out of retirement by his old C2 bosses, ex-intelligence operative turned art teacher, Jonathan Hemlock, reluctantly agrees to carry out two final 'sanctions' - in other words, assassinations. The first 'mark' is an easy target, but the second involves a treacherous climb up the brutal Eiger, one of the most inhospitable mountains in the Swiss Alps, setting up a deadly game of cat and mouse.
