The true story of American turncoat John Walker, Jr. is related blow-by-blow in this made-for-TV movie.
Powers Boothe stars as Walker, a Navy petty officer who spends half of his career selling secrets to the Soviets. At first the soul of discretion, the hard-drinking, philandering Walker eventually becomes careless enough in his activities to arouse the suspicions of his in-the-dark wife Barbara (
Lesley Ann Warren). With the skill and aplomb of the true sociopath,
Walker also manages to convince his own son (
Andrew Lowry) to join the "family business." The spy ring is ultimately smashed through the joint efforts of the FBI and
Walker's embittered ex-wife. Based on the books
Family of Spies by
Pete Earley and
I Pledge Allegiance by
Howard Blum,
Family of Spies: The Walker Spy Ring was originally telecast in two parts on February 4 and 6, 1990.
