McMahon would play a Vice President with a dark side who is at the center of a shadow conspiracy. Borgnine will play the keeper of the Central Intelligence Agency's darkest records, while Dreyfuss will be a wealthy man who builds a fortune out of lucrative government contracts.

Cox is a former Cold War spy and nemesis of Willis.
