Scorpio

Scorpio (1973) is a Cold War spy thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Michael Winner, it pairs Burt Lancaster and Alain Delon as a CIA veteran and the protégé sent to kill him. Trust nobody — least of all the Agency.

Gerald Cross has spent years mentoring Jean Laurier, the gifted French freelancer codenamed Scorpio. When Cross decides he's done and tries to walk away, his handlers refuse to let him retire. Instead they hand the contract to the one operative who knows the old man inside out: do the job, and Scorpio inherits his place. Cross runs, the chase winds through Vienna and across Europe, and every meeting between teacher and student could be the last. Paul Scofield rounds out the cast as an enigmatic Soviet contact.

This sits at the tail end of the paranoid 1970s spy cycle — no gadgets, no Bond polish, just cold tradecraft and burned-out professionals second-guessing each other. The Lancaster–Delon face-off carries it even when the plot doubles back. A solid watch for fans of slow-burn espionage like Three Days of the Condor. Stream Scorpio (1973) online on iFILM.
