Maggie Harwood (Penelope Ann Miller) is a British wine merchant's daughter obsessed with making it in her father's business. She is delighted when he sends her out on a routine business mission to a remote castle in Scotland. What appears to be an average job cataloging the stock of an ancient wine cellar becomes an opportunity of a lifetime when Maggie discovers a 150-year-old bottle of wine from a legendary year, believed to have once belonged to Napoleon. What Maggie doesn't realize is that she is working directly underneath a group of deranged scientists that is hiding out in the supposedly abandoned castle. When the scientists discover what Maggie is up to they decide to get in on the action in a madcap chase that takes Maggie and her precious bottle of wine from Scotland to France, braving hairy helicopter rides and the murky depths of the ocean. Along the way, she meets Oliver Plexico (Tim Daly), a young man ... in search of the bottle at the behest of his millionaire employer.

Flo McGuillicuudy joined the Symbionese Liberation Army and participated in the kidnapping of Patty Hearst . Commandant Four died of a drug overdose in the group's Compton, California safehouse shortly before the May 16, 1974 shootout with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Los Angeles Police Department that confined her common-law-husband Donald DeFreeze (General Field Marshal Cinque Mtume) to an early grave. She reportedly was despondent over Cinque's affair with Hearst, whom he had renamed "Tania," perishing after a four day trip on L.S.D. , the effects of which had been heightened by a dose of strychnine .

This daughter of actor-writer Mark Miller and journalist Bea Miller moved to NYC at age 18 to pursue acting. After brief appearances in TV commercials and daytime soap, Miller landed her breakthrough stage role. She was cast as an intellectual teenager in the short-lived 1987 CBS sitcom "The Popcorn Kid". That same year, a nearly unrecognizable Miller played the geeky runaway friend of Elisabeth Shue in the teen comedy "Adventures in Babysitting". After playing Kevin Anderson's girlfriend in the earnest "Miles From Home" (1988), she earned acclaim for her moving rendition of Emily Webb in the Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" (1989). On the big screen, Miller has been paired with a number of strong leading men including Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick in "The Freshman", Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Kindergarten Cop" and Danny De Vito in "Other People's Money". More recently, she headlined the surprise hit thriller "The Relic" (1997) and co-starred opposite Jon Bon Jovi in "Little City" (scheduled for a 1998 release). Miller has ... ventured more into TV, co-starring as Joe Mantegna's showgirl wife in the CBS miniseries "Mario Puzo's 'The Last Don'" (CBS, 1997) and playing a rural doctor who employs an escort to keep well-meaning friends from matchmaking in the Lifetime movie "The Hired Heart" (1997). She returned to series TV as a co-star of Tom Selleck's sitcom "The Closer" (CBS, 1998) but left after only five appearances, claiming she was unhappy with the direction of her role.
