Cary Grant lounges in Hollywood, weary of cinema's constant glamour. Her majesty's Secret Service will break his malaise with a bizarre diplomatic mission. In Naples, Lucky Luciano fixes horse races and begins to lay the groud for the global herion trade. In Bologna, a bartender named Pierre searches for true love and his missing communist father.
It is 1954 - the height of the cold war - and these three are on a thrilling path toward an intersection that will involve the nascent KGB, Joesepn McCarthy, Francews Farmer, Parisian lowflies, Marshal Tito, David Niven, James Bond, and a very special television set called the McGuffin Electric.
A political thriller, a comic sky caper, a romance, and a brilliant piece of social satire, 54 is an absorbing adventure into the past and a sly commentary on our present.
