Saigon: Year of the Cat

In the midst of chaos, a bank employee and a CIA analyst from the West form an unlikely alliance as the fall of Saigon approaches.

In 1974, as the US withdraws its troops from Saigon, the remaining presence is reduced to a few advisors, including CIA members. Against this unusual backdrop, CIA analyst Bob Chesneau and bank executive Barbara Dean, played by Frederic Forrest and Dame Judi Dench, respectively, engage in an affair.
