Silent Trigger is a 1996 film directed by Russell Mulcahy starring Dolph Lundgren and Gina Bellman about a sniper and his female spotter. Lundgren plays a former hitman sent on a mission by a secretive "Agency", to assassinate a target from an abandoned skyscraper in construction. Memories and moral dilemmas resurface when a former spotter from a failed assignment shows up. The movie takes place in and around an unfinished city skyscraper where the shooter and spotter set up a shooting platform on a top floor. The two arrive independent of each other, two of The Agency's assassins. As... they meet, they both recognize each other, as they have been on a mission together before. This mission is portrayed in a series of flashbacks. In the first flashback Waxman and Clegg were supposed to assassinate a female politician. Waxman hesitates when the politician lifts a child, and while hesitating a helicopter shows up, landing soldiers in the courtyard behind the team's firing position.
