This is simply an unbelievable
action/thriller/romance. as The MovieWeb
database described the plot - ''Simon Templar, gentleman and master
thief, is equally at home negotiating with power brokers, seducing beautiful
woman, or dangling from the roof of a tall building. A man of a thousand
disguises, Templar has eluded international syndicates, corrupt tycoons,
and Interpol with equal ease. But he is more than a sophisticated thief.
He is The Saint, battling for justice where the law cannot or will not
reach.
Simon
Templar (Val Kilmer) is rich, sophisticated and almost supernaturally skilled
at stealing even the most closely guarded of treasures. He is also cold
and cynical, until his path crosses that of Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue),
a young scientist whose life is in terrible danger. Emma has discovered
the key to Russian billionaire Ivan Tretiak's (Rade Erbedzija) overwhelming
ambition -- to crown himself the first Czar of the new Russian Empire --
and he will do anything to neutralize the danger that she represents.
Stirred by long-dormant feelings,
Templar desperately fights to protect Emma while struggling to master the
one identity he cannot assume with ease -- himself.''
This is as enjoyable
as a romance as it is a thriller, as the pair develop an undeniable attraction
to each whilst being trailed by assasins, and the Saint has to change his
plans from killing to saving Emma. I highly recommend it for any
occasion.
