SCORPIO is a movie directed by Michael Winner (Death Wish) in 1973.

Gerald Cross is an aging C.I.A. agent who wants to retire. His boss McLeod is not so happy with this idea and asks Jean Laurier, alias Scorpio, to eliminate Cross. In order to persuade Scorpio, a friend of Cross, McLeod assures him that Cross is a double agent. Cross leaves the U.S.A. and disappears in the city of Vienna, Austria where he asks his old K.G.B. friend named Zharkov for help. Meanwhile, Scorpio, who's understood that Cross isn't in the U.S. anymore, is coming everyday nearer. But when Cross's wife is accidentally killed by the C.I.A. during the burglary of her home, a vengeful Cross comes back to Washington.
