Plot synopsis
Schwarzenegger plays U.S. Marshal John Kruger, who works in the witness protection program. He is assigned to protect Dr. Lee Cullen (played by Williams), who works for the Cyrez Corporation, a top secret weapons manufacturer. When Cullen turns over evidence of illegal arms deals to the FBI, Kruger's job is to protect her by erasing all traces of her identity and eliminating any threats against her.
Trivia
- The company name "Cyrez" was originally scripted and filmed as "Cyrex", but the real-life computer chip manufacturer Cyrix objected. Since the movie had already been shot, the relevant dialogue was dubbed over and company logos were digitally altered during post-production.
