Handlung
Der langjährige und vielfach ausgezeichnete FBI-Beamte John Michael ('Chip') Hardesty (James Stewart) hält eine Vorlesung über die Methoden der Behörde, die zu einer Reise in die Vergangenheit und einer Geschichte über die Entwicklung des FBI wird. Hardesty berichtet über verschiedene wichtige Ermittlungen, an denen er teilgenommen hat, von einer Reihe von Klu Klux Klan-Morden in den frühen 20er Jahren über die großen Bandenkriege der 30er Jahre, in denen Gangster im großen Stil von den Behörden verfolgt wurden und die Banken terrorisierten bis zur Inhaftierung sämtlicher im Land wohnender Bürger ausländischer Herkunft zu Kriegszeiten. Im Kalten Krieg der 50er waren die Beamten dann in kommunistische Spionage involviert, ehe Hardesty nun langsam vor der Pensionierung steht. Parallel dazu erleben Hardesty und Kollegen Glücksmomente und Tragödien in und um ihre Familien herum...
