Overview
Captain Vinka Kovalenko defects from Russia, but not for political reasons. She defects because she feels discriminated against as a woman. Captain Chuck Lockwood gets the order to show her the bright side of capitalism, while she tries to convince him of the superiority of communism. Naturally, they fall in love, but there's still the KGB, which doesn't like the idea of having a defected Russian officer running around in London.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lighthearted Cold War romance that uses its political premise as a backdrop for witty banter and chemistry between two headstrong leads. Despite the espionage framing, it's fundamentally about two people discovering they have more in common than their opposing ideologies suggest.
