Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Graham Greene, a love triangle brews amidst a growing political tempest in this brilliantly intellectual film in which nothing is quite as it seems.
In 1952 Saigon is caught between the corrupt colonial powers and the Communist uprising. An idealistic young American (Audie Murphy) champions a shadowy Third Force but cynical British journalist Thomas Fowler (Michael Redgrave) is concerned only with the American's interest in his mistress. When jealousy forces Fowler to take sides at last the personal and political consequences are devastating.
