No Way Out is a 1987 thriller film about a U.S. Naval officer investigating a Washington, D.C. murder. It stars Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman and Sean Young. It is a remake of The Big Clock; both films are based on the novel by Kenneth Fearing.
At a ball, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Tom Farrell meets a young woman, Susan Atwell, and the two immediately begin an affair, although Atwell is involved with someone else. During his next Naval deployment, Farrell rescues a fellow sailor during a storm and becomes a hero. He is brought back to Washington to work at The Pentagon for Secretary of Defense David Brice on the recommendation of his General Counsel Scott Pritchard, an old friend of Farrell's. Brice, determined to cancel a boondoggle Navy project that has powerful political backing, decides that Farrell should act as his direct liaison to the CIA to gather information about whether the Soviets really are working on a similar project.
Soon after, Farrell finds out that the other man in Susan's life is Secretary Brice, who in turn learns of Susan's infidelity. While demanding the name of her new lover, Brice slaps Susan in a jealous rage, knocking her off an indoor balcony to her death. Ready to turn himself in, Brice is persuaded by Pritchard to cover up everything and blame it on someone else. They concoct a story that Susan's other lover was in fact a long-suspected but never confirmed KGB sleeper agent code-named "Yuri." In the aftermath, they focus all attention on an attempt to capture him.
We could take a journey down memory lane
Where would it really go?
I already know you
We could write it out awhile
Playin' it by ear
But how could you play at all?
You hardly ever listen
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Could of Would of Should have I left it up to you
Willing to take control So I could just follow
(so I could just follow)
But time reveals a lot about yourself
And I'm not getting younger, younger
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And there's no way out, way out
