在这部豺狼陷阱动作/犯罪/惊悚片中,影片开头是胡狼卡洛斯拿烟头烫死一只蛛网上的蜘蛛。这是部1994年拍的电影，是追捕"胡狼卡洛斯"的故事。胡狼卡洛斯是拉登之前最著名的恐怖分子，几乎是所有西方国家的情报机构重点关照的对象。现在关于他的资料能找到的很少，就象一个过气明星一样被人遗忘了。
故事是在冷战时期，一个美国海军军官因为长的酷似胡狼卡洛斯，所以被中央情报局选中追捕胡狼。看电是这个被选中的海军军官为了使自己看起来象恐怖分子，进行了严格的训练，模仿卡洛斯的各种特点。最终训练合格，然而性格大变，由以前的温文尔雅变的脾气暴躁。
影片花了很大时间描述假胡狼怎样由一个普通人训练成一个间谍，看的出是要表现一个间谍是怎样炼成的，不光要进行各种训练，最重要的是心理的转变。那个中情局的官员为了抓胡狼卡洛斯几乎不择手段，甚至以拉米莱斯家人威胁他。他的做法和恐怖分子也差不多了，在情报行业，你了解的越多就会发现越多肮脏的角落。
最后的镜头是隐姓埋名的假卡洛斯拿着烟头对着蛛网上的蜘蛛... ...
1986. In his civilian clothes while on shore leave in Jerusalem, Lieutenant Commander Annibal Ramirez of the US Navy is captured and interrogated by who he eventually learns is Mossad in a case of mistaken identity. Because of the resemblance, they believed him to be Carlos the Jackal, one of if not the most wanted and dangerous terrorist in the world. Shortly following, Henry Fields, using the alias Jack Shaw, he the Paris deputy chief of CIA counter-terrorism whose primary mission for at least the past ten years has been to get rid of Carlos in any way possible, tries to recruit Ramirez to work on a covert CIA-Mossad operation to stop Carlos' terrorist activities with the ultimate goal of Carlos' capture or death. The plan is for Ramirez to impersonate Carlos, in the process discrediting Carlos in the eyes of his current KGB backers, and thus effectively ending his career as a terrorist, with nowhere he can longer hide. After an initial reluctance on Ramirez's part, Shaw is able to convince him to do the job. The rigorous training is to ensure that Ramirez not only looks like Carlos, but instinctively behaves like Carlos, even to those closest to him, which also means how he makes love as one of Ramirez's interactions is to be with one of Carlos' old girlfriends. Beyond the potential problem of getting caught by Carlos or his associates, Ramirez may have problems stomaching his work and reconciling it with his real life as a military man. If he is able to carry out the mission and survive, the bigger question becomes whether being Carlos will have transformed his inherent being permanently.
