No Place to Hide

In the fevered summer of 1969, New York City pulses with protests, street art, and the restless energy of a generation refusing to be silent. A tight‑knit student collective, driven by anti‑war conviction, begins to contemplate a dramatic statement against the corporations that profit from foreign dictatorships. The city’s grimy streets, smoky lofts, and crowded cafés become the backdrop for a daring plan that blurs the line between activism and militancy, setting a tone that is both tense and electric.

Jerry Savage, a charismatic anti‑war activist, drifts into the movement after an impromptu ride with a band of hippies. He quickly finds a counterbalance in Laurie Fisher, a gentle jewelry maker whose soft‑spoken optimism offers a quiet refuge from the surrounding chaos. Their budding companionship hints at the personal stakes that will thread through the larger political drama, grounding the revolutionary fervor in moments of tenderness.

Within the collective, Estelle Ferguson emerges as the pragmatic organizer, handling logistics with a cool precision that masks deeper anxieties. She partners with Tommy Trafler, a confident schemer whose charisma hides a web of conflicting loyalties. Their circle expands to include Marlena, a notorious bomb‑making expert whose presence heightens both the danger and the allure of the undertaking. As these figures navigate romance, trust, and the lure of radical action, their relationships pulse with the same urgency that defines the city around them.

The film unfolds as a moody, atmospheric portrait of a volatile era, where the FBI’s shadowy surveillance looms over every whispered conversation. It captures the clash between idealistic purpose and the harsh realities of extremism, inviting viewers to wonder how far individuals will go when belief and love become entangled in a cause that could reshape a nation.
