Hamilton

An elite Swedish military squadron has to retrieve a stolen
Russian nuclear missile that has fallen into the hands of Libyan terrorists.

The fifth film in a series based on the best-selling novels of Scandinavian author Jan Guillou, Hamilton follows the exploits of Swedish super-agent Carl Hamilton and stars Mark Hamill as the villain. The CIA discovers a stolen missile being routed through the Arctic by Russian rebels. Since they plan to smuggle it into Sweden, the Swedish secret service is called in. After Hamilton (Peter Stormare) and his men kill the smugglers, Hamilton realizes it was a set-up, since another missile went into Sweden. He follows the trail to Murmansk where he meets ex-CIA operative Mike Hawkins (Hamill) - and the search continues in Stockholm, and Washington, before the final confrontation in Libya. This 127-minute feature was trimmed down from a four-part TV miniseries.

next film "The great Lebinski". He has just finished a TV-film directed by
Ingmar Bergman. Director is Norwegian Harald Zwart. This is his debute as
feature film director. In spite of his young age he is very experienced as
director of commercials and TV films and the expectations of his first
