A CIA agent and a former terrorist form an uneasy alliance to recover a stolen nuclear device.
CIA II: TARGET ALEXA
Alexa is one of the best, but her handiwork is done for terrorists. When she is finally captured, it is up to CIA agent Graver to turn her against her latest employer who has diplomatic immunity. Graver is one of the best at the CIA, but since the chip has been stolen, he has to use Alexa to find it. Alexa is too tough to turn on her own, so Graver must find the key to unlock her conviction. While he is working on Alexa, his boss is working on Graver.
Proof that even international terrorists have to negotiate with their exes.
Lorenzo Lamas swaps his martial arts kicks for a director’s chair in this bullet-laden directorial debut, wrangling a plot where CIA Agent Graver and ex-terrorist Alexa must outwit an international madman. Expect uneasy alliances, gunfire, and a nuclear guidance system more coveted than a front-row seat at a Lamas ‘90s convention.
