During the cold war, dozens of nations established huge cadres of spies and agents, like the CIA, the KGB, and similar agencies -- but in time, many of the agents of those organizations have slowly gone their separate ways as changing times have changed the landscape of their profession. In that spirit, a group of retired intelligence/spies are gathered from a variety of backgrounds for one last mission for a mysterious client that they are told will earn them a small fortune. Among this group are a former CIA agent (De Niro), a Frenchman (Reno), a Briton (Bean) and a former KGB agent (Skarsgard).
