Adapted from the novel by famed science fiction writer Algis Budrys, Who? is a fascinating cold-war thriller/sci-fi hybrid. Elliott Gould is an FBI agent trying to determine the true identity of a top US physicist who was horrifically injured in a car accident in East Berlin. The scientist is returned to the West encased in a metal mask and body-suit, reconstructed via cybernetic surgery. Is the man behind the metal mask who he claims to be, or is he a Soviet dupe trained to infiltrate US security? Who?, from director Jack Gold, is one of the most unusual and affecting science fiction thrillers of the 1970s - not least because of the extraordinary performance by Joseph Bova as the masked enigma at the heart of the story.
