"Let's see. Insubordinate. Insolent. A trickster. Perhaps with criminal tendencies. Well, that last one may just be put to good use…"

Ex-thief Harry Palmer is compelled to work for Military Intelligence in dealings of an underhand nature. His natural reluctance to volunteer for anything and his ability to annoy his immediate superiors by raising insubordination to an art form is tolerated because he’s good at his job – something which lands him in trouble when he is set on the trail of some missing scientists and discovers a piece of tape labelled “IPCRESS” in a deserted warehouse. It is not long before the stakes are raised and Palmer is in danger of losing his life....

Based on Len Deighton’s best-selling novel, Michael Caine turns in the first starring role of his career as reluctant agent Harry Palmer.
