The movie tells the story of Nick Rivers (Kilmer), an American pop singer (whose songs sound suspiciously like those of Elvis Presley and The Beach Boys), who goes to East Germany to perform in a cultural festival. Whilst there, he becomes involved in a resistance movement, and helps the beautiful Hillary Flammond (Gutteridge) rescue her father (Gough), a brilliant scientist being held by the Germans and forced to build the deadly Polaris Mine.
