Little Nikita

1988 98 min PG Drama · Action · Thriller

He went to bed an all-American kid and woke up the son of Russian spies.

Suburban cul-de-sac, late summer, a soccer ball rolling into a hydrant’s spray. The agent’s badge catches the afternoon light, then folds back into his pocket. A father kisses his son’s forehead through the screen door while watering roses. The neighbor’s station wagon idles a half-block too long. A Soviet anthem hums from a kid’s bedroom.

Directed by Richard Benjamin · Written by Bo Goldman, John Hill, Tom Musca

Starring Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, Richard Jenkins, Caroline Kava, Lucy Deakins, Richard Bradford
