"Barley" Scott Blair (Sean Connery) is an alcoholic book editor from a bargain-basement publishing house in Great Britain who'd rather be drinking in Lisbon than attending a book dealers' show in Russia. So he's surprised when a CIA agent (Mac McDonald) pulls him from his boozy holiday. It seems that the CIA has through a book show intermediary received a package from a Russian book editor named Katya (Michelle Pfeiffer) containing amazingly detailed notebooks written by a cynical Russian physicist named "Dante" (Klaus-Maria Brandauer). The notebooks show that Russia's nuclear threat is a joke: Russian rockets "suck instead of blow...and can't hit Nevada on a clear day," in the acerbic words of CIA Agent Russell Sheridan (Roy Scheider).

If you like the Espionage genre, The Russia House does not disappoint. Much more true to life than the Bond films, Sean Connery creates a believable character. Heroic in many ways, but vulnerable as well. Michelle Pfeiffer is outstanding, and supporting cast is perfect. The story is complex and compelling. Everything a good mystery should be. If you haven't seen it, you are in for a very nice surprise.
