Story Synopsis:
Robert Rath (Stallone) is a principled hitman—the best—but he’s tired and finally wants to call it quits. When one of his assignments is interrupted by a young and ruthless killer, Miguel Bain (Banderas), Rath takes on one last job—worth $2 million. But Bain is after the same target—Electra (Moore), a brilliant, cat-loving info-highway thief who Rath gets to first. Rath becomes a target himself due to Bain’s grand ambition to prove himself numero uno. Rath and Electra must piece together history to overcome their mutual predator.
