Cross is a CIA field agent, most of his tasks as an assassin. He has just returned to Washington DC from working on a case in Paris, he accompanied by Jean Laurier, code name Scorpio, a Frenchman who has long been mentored by Cross and who works as a freelance assassin. Scorpio pulled the actual trigger on the target in the just completed Paris case, and because of the nature of their work, Cross and Scorpio part company at Dulles Airport, neither having ever seen the other if questioned. Scorpio currently also lives part-time in DC with his girlfriend Susan and his flight attendant sister Anne. Cross' superior McLeod is surprised to see both Cross and Scorpio return to DC as the agency, through McLeod, had unofficially contracted Scorpio to eliminate Cross in Paris as it is well known within the agency that Cross plans on quitting, the threat that he could sell out to the Communists with the amount of knowledge he has too great a risk for the agency to take. Scorpio was seemingly the best man for the job in knowing Cross better than anyone else professionally. Scorpio is able to absolve himself in not carrying out that Paris mission on Cross on a loophole, he further able to renegotiate the contract to meet his goals more fully, namely to take over Cross' position within the agency. Cross discovers not only about there being a contract hit on him, but also that Scorpio is the hired gun. With a wide, loyal and diverse network both domestically and internationally, Cross is at least able to make it out of the country, he using that network to set up somewhere undetected and hopefully to bring his wife Sarah by his side once his new life is established. In the process, Cross will discover just how loyal his network is to him, with some former adversaries in his work, such as now Vienna-based Sergei Zharkov a former Soviet Communist agent, or if some are not who they purport to be in having a separate agenda. If it gets to that point, another question is whether Cross or Scorpio can pull the trigger on the other, each who may see the other as a mirror image of himself.

| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonWhen you wind a plot up as tightly as this one, it runs along nicely for awhile, but then the last half-hour has to be spent simply resolving everything. |
| The New York TimesRoger GreenspunThe aphoristic style, combined with Winner's unwavering visual instinct for crushingly obvious detail, helps to push Scorpio out of low dullness into vertiginous absurdity. |
| User ReviewBroyaxUn film d’espions et d’espionnage en pleine guerre froide… la CIA et le KGB se reniflent le fion comme deux clébards qui cherchent à se la mettre profond, d’autant plus que chez les Amerloques, on a senti comme une taupe qui bosserait pour les Cocos…! Contrairement à d’autres films de cet acabit, les tenants et aboutissants sont bien expliqués mais tout cela met beaucoup de temps à se mettre en place, beaucoup trop de temps… et du coup, on dort déjà malgré bien sûr l’excellent Burt Lancaster qui a en face de lui le très mauvais Alain Melon… Ce dernier a encore chopé le melon et comme dirait De Funès, il a une tête énooorme ! il plombe donc le film de son incompétence… insupportable ! un film qui avance déjà comme une tortue et n’avait pas besoin d’un boulet supplémentaire. L’action reste bien évidemment rare et ces presque deux plombes sont bien pénibles, à part une poursuite vers la fin qui fait courir le sacré Burt comme un dératé… un peu de respect pour ce pauvre vieux quand même ! Scorpio ne vaut donc pas tripette ou pas grand-chose pour ainsi dire… mais c’est un bon somnifère. |
