I think you will find that this comes from the movie "The Macintosh Man". It is based on the Desmond Bagley book "The Freedom Trap". It follows the book faithfully for about the 1st 60% of the book, then all of a sudden the good guys and bad guys have a massive shootout and it's all over.

Perhaps Paul Newman won so much money at playing backgammon with the director, that they ran out of money to film the last 40%.
