A man wakes up in the desert suffering from a gunshot wound to the head and no idea of who he is. Somehow, though, he knows of a conspiracy to assassinate the U.S. President in a small New Mexican town.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's never revealed whether Faye Dunaway's character is alone in masterminding the plot, while the motive and anyone else involved remain unknown, though it may be because of the President's views on illegal immigration, changing which possibly being why they tried to call it off by informing the Secret Service.

* CassandraTruth: The Secret Service puts a man on hold who is ''reporting a threat to the President?'' (Turns out that they were tracing his call, but they still don't believe him, with his addled state, and he doesn't know what the exact threat is). Also, the doctor speculates "Frank" is making it up from something he read or saw, given his amnesia.

* TwistEnding: [[spoiler: "Frank" is in fact one of three hitmen hired to kill the President, while "Chloe" is the undercover federal agent that shot him (and then another hitman) to prevent this, posing as his fiancee to find out what he knows]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Who's actually masterminding the plot is never revealed (Faye Dunaway's character is apparently one of them, but the motive and anyone else involved remain unknown). Also unknown is how the US Marshals knew of the plot existed, and sent people to the town (also why them instead of the Secret Service?), while not passing the information on to the President's security detail so that he wouldn't go there.

* ThePlan: [[spoiler: The film centers on a plot to assassinate the President, one which was actually quite good, and could possibly work. First, they send three hitmen to the town of Blackpoint, New Mexico. Then, a fuel truck is tipped over (made to look like an accident), blocking the highway to force the Presidential motorcade into the town, with the hitmen waiting]].

A man who wakes up in the desert suffering from a gunshot wound to the head and no idea of who he is. Somehow, though, he knows of a conspiracy to assassinate the U.S. President in a small New Mexican town.

* WhoShotJFK: The plot has allusions to conspiracy theories surrounding it. Frank rendezvouses with the other hitman in a movie theatre, which some theorists believe is why Oswald went to one, as a meeting place; there are three hitmen to provide "triangulation of crossfire" as one theory has it, etc.
