SYNOPSIS:
In THE DOUBLE, the mysterious murder of a
US senator bearing the distinctive trademark of the legendary
Soviet assassin "Cassius," forces Paul Shepherdson
(Richard Gere), a retired CIA operative, to team with rookie FBI
agent, Ben Geary (Topher Grace), to solve the crime.
Having spent his career chasing Cassius, Shepherdson is
convinced his nemesis is long dead, but is pushed to take on the
case by his former supervisor, Tom Highland (Martin Sheen).
Meanwhile, Agent Geary, who wrote his Master's thesis on
Shepherdson's pursuit of the Soviet killer, is certain that
Cassius has resurfaced. As Shepherdson and Geary work their way
through crimes both past and present, they discover that Cassius
may not be the person they always thought him to be, forcing
both to re-examine everything and everyone around them.
