Synopsis
Arthur Penn takes a crack at subverting the espionage film genre
in Target. Walter Lloyd (Gene Hackman) is a quiet and unassuming
lumberyard owner in Dallas, Texas. Chris (Matt Dillon) has dropped
out of college to pursue a career as a race car driver. But all mundane
tasks come to an end when Walter's wife Donna (Gayle Hunnicutt) is
kidnapped while on a European trip. Walter flies to Paris with Chris to
see what can be done. Once in Europe, Chris is shocked to discover
that his dad was once a top CIA agent. Together, the two visit all of
Walter's old CIA contacts in an effort to locate Donna. Finally, Walter
discovers that Donna has been kidnapped by a rogue spy seeking
revenge for an incident that happened eighteen years earlier. Now Walter
must apply his old and vicious CIA tricks to save his wife from an old
and vicious CIA operative. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
