              5/6

A medical doctor takes a flight
And lands in Paris with his wife.
They’re taking a vacation none too soon,
When his wife goes missing in their hotel room.

He was right there, but missed what happened,
For he was in the bathroom when it happened.
His wife’s now nowhere to be found.
Even the hotel staff haven’t seen her around

Harrison Ford tries to search for clues,
Which leads him to an apartment with a view.
He meets a young French woman there.
She’s rather pretty and has nice hair.

She says there’s been a mixup with the post,
But it’s only one package at the most.
It contains a statue with a secret inside.
It’s a krytron, and it’s bona fide.

A krytron is an electronic switch
That will detonate nuclear arms when flipped.
Harrison Ford is now more filled with dread
As he realizes he’s in way over his head.

This is a thriller with some great suspense.
Casting Harrison Ford made a lot of sense.
This movie makes you feel alive.
Out of six, it gets a five.
