Hired to Kill[1] is an action and adventure film in which a group of mercenaries posing as a fashion modeling company attempt to release a captive rebel leader from a dictatorial régime. The film was first released to video in South Korea on 28 April 1990.[2]

Plot

Mercenary Frank Ryan (Brian Thompson) is summoned by US agent Thomas (George Kennedy) and given the assignment of releasing rebel leader Petros Rallis, (José Ferrer) who is being held prisoner in the country of Cypra, run by President Michael Bartos (Oliver Reed). To do this, Ryan assembles a group of female mercenaries and poses as a photo modeling company for a photography assignment. They are given a military guard for the photo-shoot but the guards are overcome by the group and together with Bartos' assistant Ana, (Michelle Moffett) they link up with other rebels, storm the prison where Rallis is being held and make their escape. At this time, Ryan realizes that he has been duped and finally confronts Thomas.
