In an attempt to stem the heroin trade at the Afghanistan–Iran border, a group of narcotics agents working for the United Nations inject a radioactive compound into a seized shipment of opium, in the hopes that it will lead them to the main heroin distributor in Europe.
The movie is better than a movie made today. If there is crime in a movie made today, the language would have you understand why I can never get through one. This one had a dialogue going that made sense with real words.
