Top secret!

American rock singer Nick Rivers ( Kilmer ) arrives in the GDR for a cultural festival, which brought together the best musicians from around the world. In fact, the festival was organized by the special services of the GDR as a distracting maneuver of a complex operation directed against the armed forces of NATO . On the first day, Nick encounters a charming girl, Hillary Flammond, an agent of the Resistance forces inside the GDR. Intelligence agents detain her father, Dr. Paul Flammond. They force him to work on a secret terrible weapon - the Polaris mine. Nick miraculously escapes from execution and from the special services pursuing them and goes to the French resistance operating inside the GDR.

Nick, Hillary, and the resistance fighters infiltrate a military prison, helping Dr. Flammond escape, and expose the traitor in their ranks. Nick manages to win the girl’s heart and perform at the festival, gaining many fans behind the iron curtain .
