This was a great movie starring Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Ed Harris.

In a heavily guarded mansion in a posh Virginia suburb, a man and a woman start to make love, trapping Luther Whitney (Eastwood), a career break-in artist, behind a secret wall. Then the passion turns deadly, and Luther is running into the night. Because what he has just seen is a brutal murder involving Alan Richmond (Hackman), the president of the United States.
