As a boy, Eduardo Plarr (Richard Gere) and his mother fled Paraguay after his father was captured and held as a political prisoner. Now a practicing doctor in a small Argentinian city, Plarr is approached by an old friend who tells him he's working with the Paraguayan underground and a disgraced British counsel (Michael Caine) on a plan to kidnap an ambassador and hold him for ransom in exchange for the release of Parr's father and several other prisoners.

Critic Reviews for Beyond the Limit

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Rotten (2)

Beyond the Limit has one of the best endings I can remember in a mediocre film, an ending that goes a long way toward redeeming some of the sloppiness that went before.

June 19, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Although Beyond the Limit is based on Graham Greene's The Honorary Consul and deals with political intrigue, terrorism and illicit love, it is a strangely unexciting and remote movie.
