He makes friends with photographer Billy Kwan (Linda Hunt) and British embassy worker Jill Bryant (Sigourney Weaver), and they both give him information that makes his stories the best. Billy becomes disenchated with the government and protests, which gets him killed. Jill decides to head back to London. When civil war breaks out, Guy determines to stick it out, but he's soon injured and almost loses an eye. He heads for the airport and, at the same time, manages to save his assistant Kumar, who is on the government hit list. He makes it to the plane at the last minute and reunites with Jill. |
