Assignment: Vienna(1972)

Assignment: Vienna is a spy drama following Jake Webster, an American expatriate running Jake's Bar & Grill in Vienna. The restaurant is a front for his real work: hunting down spies and international criminals on behalf of U.S. intelligence. Blackmailed into service—threatened with deportation and imprisonment if he refuses—Webster navigates the Cold War underworld of 1970s Austria with reluctant expertise. His handler, Major Caldwell, keeps him tethered to dangerous assignments that exploit his precarious legal status. The series balances the mundane operations of a working bar with high-stakes espionage, as Webster uses his establishment to gather intelligence and track targets across Vienna's shadowy streets. Caught between two governments and his own survival instinct, Webster must outwit both criminals and his own masters.
