Synopsis/Details: 

Dr. Helmut Ganzler, a former member of Hitler’s First Elite, a group of scientific geniuses, was thought to have escaped from a Soviet compound in Brazil in 1947. He apparently hid his journals, and then completely vanished off the face of the earth. For years, the CIA and the KGB believed Ganzler’s theories could bolster their military strategy and technologies, thus increasing the odds of winning the Cold War. The chase pits CIA agent Brody Langquist and Kelly, his girlfriend and Ganzler’s granddaughter, with KGB agent Felix Youpopov, a fearless competitor. Believing Ganzler is dead; both agents relentlessly pursue the journals. Going to South America to locate the journals, they meet Valdez who thinks he knows where they are buried but fails to actually find them. When it becomes apparent Ganzler is still alive, both agencies become convinced the first one to find him and his journals will gain technological wealth that is unprecedented. They realize they will benefit from the genius of one man: a man whose thinking, without dispute, was well before its time.

Both agencies close in and locate Ganzler, only to find out he never buried the journals in the first place. After a gun fight in a cabin in Santa Fe New Mexico, the Russians are defeated and the Americans revel in the conquest, except for the fact Valdez shows up and absconds with the journals. In the end, unbeknownst to Brody, at a run-down stucco building in the jungle in South America, Kelly buys the journals from Valdez to give them to the German government. Valdez opens the suitcase full of what looks like thousands of dollars. Sitting in her Jeep, she gives Valdez the finger and smiles right before the building is blown to bits.
