The story follows Catherine Weaver (Debra Winger), an FBI agent who is assigned to investigate a group of white supremacist terrorists. During her investigation, Catherine meets Gary Simmons (Tom Berenger), a farmer whom she falls in love with. Catherine believes that Simmons is a simple-minded farmer whom the supremacist leaders have taken advantage of. However, the story takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that he is a key member of the terrorist organization.

As Catherine delves deeper into her investigation, she discovers that Simmons is not who he seems to be. The man she loves is a manipulative, violent leader of a group of extremists who have planned a series of deadly attacks across America. When Simmons discovers that Catherine is an FBI agent, he decides to take revenge on her by imprisoning and torturing her.

The movie's supporting cast including John Heard, who plays Catherine's boss and mentor at the FBI, and John Mahoney, who plays a member of the white supremacist group, provide strong performances as well.

Betrayed is directed by Costa-Gavras, a director known for his political dramas. The movie's political undertones are evident, as it explores the social and political themes of white supremacy and terrorism in America.

The movie's cinematography is also noteworthy, with cinematographer Patrick Blossier capturing the beautiful landscape of rural America in stark contrast to the violent acts of the extremist group. The movie's soundtrack, composed by Bill Conti, adds tension to the movie's suspenseful scenes.
