Rendezvous

In April 1917 the United States stands on the brink of a global conflict, and Washington buzzes with secret projects that could tip the balance at sea. Amid the swirl of diplomats and military officials, a former newspaper man turned officer is called to service. Gordon—a quiet, analytical mind with a hidden talent for cracking codes—finds his world suddenly filled with whispered orders, encrypted telegrams, and the ever‑present specter of German U‑boats threatening the convoy lanes to France.

A chance encounter at an embassy gathering brings Joel Carter, a striking socialite with a reputation for daring spontaneity, into Gordon’s orbit. Their brief, urgent day together hints at a chemistry that could blossom into something deeper, even as the looming war forces each to confront the demands of duty. While Gordon’s expertise draws him into a covert code‑breaking unit, Joel’s connections and personal resolve place her at the edge of the same secretive currents, setting the stage for a partnership built on both intellect and affection.

Beyond the romance, the film paints a portrait of a nation scrambling to outwit enemy spies who stalk the corridors of power. The atmosphere is taut and cerebral, filled with the clatter of typewriters, the glow of lamplight on cryptic sheets, and an undercurrent of whispered intrigue. Gordon must navigate a maze of loyalty, bureaucracy, and the ever‑tightening clock of wartime urgency, all while the world around him teeters between hope and peril.

Rendezvous balances the sleek, suspenseful world of wartime espionage with a human story of unlikely allies finding common purpose. Its tone is a blend of gritty intelligence work and a light‑hearted, yet earnest, romance, inviting the audience to wonder how far a single brilliant mind—and a blossoming affection—can shape the course of history.
