U.S. agent Steve Ventura (Anthony Quinn) is stationed in Paris to investigate a drug ring led by Jacques Brizard (James Mason). Unsettled by the news that Brizard's men have killed his predecessors, Ventura seeks a way to bring him down. Taking a local policeman's advice, he hires a hitman to take out the kingpin, and it turns out he's hired his old friend, John Deray (Michael Caine).

Even though he doesn't appear until approximately the half-hour mark, Caine earns top honors as the smooth assassin.

With enough clichs to fill the Seine.

Audience Reviews for The Destructors

Sep 05, 2010

Two great stars, one lousy script. I saw this movie on TV, and I was too bored to watch the whole thing.

(1974 Director: Robert Parrish) For those of you who love a good spy thriller her eis a gripping movie which is full of twists and turns. If you will read the storyline you won't probably be surprised that there are some great actors in it, including Anthony Quinn, Michael Caine & James Mason to name a few.
