Episode synopsis
The federal authorities capture a high ranking ex-KGB operative, as he enters America, and put him in a maximum security prison. Trout tells Matt that if he is sentenced to stay on jail then the Russians will retaliate on American spies in Russia. The mission he would like the SOF team to take is to break him out. A mission that, if it fails and they are caught, could find them being tried for treason and spending the next 25 years to life behind bars themselves.
About Soldier of Fortune, Inc.
Soldier of Fortune, Inc. was a television show created by Dan Gordon which ran for two seasons, from 1997–1999. The show followed an elite team who performed "unofficial" missions for the US Government. During the first season, the show dealt with terrorists and drug lords, and often tackled issues such as patriotism and self-sacrifice. The theme song was performed by Trevor Rabin. During the second season, a voiceover by Peter Graves was added. For the second season, the show was renamed SOF: Special Ops Force. Andrews and Sheppard left the show. Dennis Rodman and David Eigenberg replaced them, though their "hip" characters and new plots led many to abandon the show, leading to its cancellation.
