Blue Ice is a 1992 film directed by Russell Mulcahy and stars Michael Caine and Sean Young. It is a crime thriller involving a former spy (Caine), who is presently a jazz-club owner, who becomes immersed again in the world of espionage and counter-intelligence.[1]
Caine plays Harry Anders, who according to the credits, is based on the Ted Allbeury character Tad Anders. The character had featured in Allbeury's novels Snowball, Palomino Blonde and The Judas Factor and in the books was of Polish-British descent; however, in the movie he is depicted as English. The name also references Harry Palmer, a British spy that Caine portrayed in the Harry Palmer series of films.
Sean Young plays the femme fatale – the wife of the American ambassador – who seduces Harry in order to gain his aid in helping her play a double game with her high-placed criminal husband.
