Robert Scott is an American secret agent and few are more ruthlessly efficient at their job. Together with his still wet behind the ears partner, Curtis, Scott is assigned the task of rescuing a high ranking government official's kidnapped daughter. What the two men begin to unravel however is a plot that escalates way beyond a simple hostage scenario, and a straightforward assignment starts to become more of a simple attempt to survive. Written and directed by David Mamet, Spartan is a slick action thriller.
