The Assassins

The CEOs of several American oil companies hatched a plot to assassinate the president of the United States, to prevent him from introducing a bill to nationalize the oil companies. Frank Bellamy, a retired Mafia hit man, turns down the very lucrative contract, even though he needs the money to save his car dealerships from bankruptcy. A psychopathic European assassin, with a dark American past, accepts the contract and arrives in Washington, DC.When the FBI gets wind of the plot, all signs point to Bellamy. But Bellamy is preoccupied with his own personal issues: saving his business, reconciling with his wife, and appeasing his stepson, who has some questions about his deceased father. Meanwhile, the Mafia leaders are becoming nervous as the FBI closes in on Bellamy, who knows too much about their organization. He has to be silenced before he takes them all down.Bellamy must find and stop the European assassin before the president is killed, before the FBI corners him, and before the Mafia's hit men take him out.
