Wild Horse Nine
A gripping crime comedy about two CIA agents who, against the backdrop of the 1973 military coup in Chile, find themselves caught in a maelstrom of conspiracies on a Pacific island.
Shortly before the military coup in Chile in 1973, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are ordered to leave Santiago. Their superior, MJ (Steve Buscemi), who coordinates the agents' operations as station commander, transfers the longtime partners to a remote Easter Island in the Pacific. What initially appears to be a manageable assignment far removed from the political turmoil on the South American mainland soon develops into a complex mission. Away from the Chilean capital, Chris and Lee find themselves in an environment where international conspiracies and personal conflicts are gaining increasing importance. At the same time, the two men are confronted with their own pasts, which pose new challenges to their partnership. The situation becomes even more tense when Chris meets two female students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) who are rebelling against the existing order. This encounter further sets the events on the island in motion. While the political developments in Chile form the backdrop to their mission, personal relationships and the murky dealings surrounding the agents become increasingly intertwined, creating a tense situation. For Chris and Lee, their time in the Pacific thus becomes a challenge that extends far beyond their original assignment.
