Target (1985 film)
Target is a 1985 American spy thriller film directed by Arthur Penn and starring Gene Hackman, Matt Dillon, and Gayle Hunnicutt. Hackman plays an ex-CIA agent, whose wife is kidnapped, and travels to Europe with his son (Dillon) to find her.
The film was released on November 8, 1985. It was the last film distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures before ending the distribution deal with CBS and shutting down its film production arm.
In Paris, a woman named Donna Lloyd has been missing for two days. In Dallas, her husband Walter and their college-age son Chris decide to look for her. At the airport, Chris bumps into backpacker Carla. Walter, on the other hand, bumps into Heinz Henke, a man with a gun who has Donna's jewelry. A man in glasses then tries to kill Walter, accidentally shooting Henke before disappearing.
At the hotel in Paris, Walter reveals that Donna has been kidnapped. Chris later saves his life when a car shoots at Walter. After they escape, Walter confesses that he used to work for the CIA.
Meanwhile, to Walter's chagrin, the CIA are watching the pair to make sure that they do not get into trouble. The two leave for Hamburg by train, evading the CIA in the process. At the train station, Walter and Chris see a man approach a similar pair - a young man and his father - yelling "Mendelssohn" to them. The man then grabs a fiddle and begins playing a tune. Walter and Chris leave. On the way out, Chris spots Carla.
The next day, they decide to meet "The Colonel", Walter's old boss. Chris spots the fiddler, and Walter tears off in the car. They attempt to lose their pursuers, but when they cannot, Walter leaves Chris and takes off on foot. Cornered by the fiddler and another agent, Walter jumps off the pier onto a passing ferry. The two agents hum the tune to Walter, and point for him to meet them further up the channel. The assassin who attempted to kill Walter earlier is there. He considers murdering Walter, but ultimately kills the fidler when the latter tries to stop him. Chris later picks Walter up.
At the Colonel's, Walter asks him about Henke. They recall "Operation Clean Sweep", where they killed five of six agents. The tune turns out to be a Mendelssohn concerto. "Mendelssohn" was the codename of Schroeder, the agent who escaped "Clean Sweep".
Walter later leaves for West Berlin, to a Pension. Chris then leaves on a train to Frankfurt, where he will presumably be safe.
