A group of Nobel laureates descends on Stockholm to accept their awards. Among them is American novelist Andrew Craig, a former literary luminary now writing pulp detective stories to earn a living. Craig, who is infamous for his drinking and womanizing, formulates a wild theory that physics prize winner Dr. Max Stratman has been replaced by an impostor, embroiling Craig and his chaperone in a Cold War kidnapping plot.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a Cold War thriller centered on kidnapping and espionage during the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm. While it had a Holiday Release, the plot, setting, themes, and iconography show no meaningful connection to Christmas whatsoever. It does not meet the criteria for a Christmas movie."
