The film's storyline is similar to Three Days of the Condor (1975).
Some movie posters for this film featured a long text preamble that read: "At 29, Charles Heller was a mathematician without equal. At the CIA, he was a computer expert without peer. But when terrorists murdered the most important woman in his life, he became an assassin without experience. To avenge her death, the CIA trained him, briefed him, armed him, and then...they abandoned him. The first 11 minutes will absolutely shock you. The last 11 minutes will rivet you to your seat. The Amateur".
John Savage was cast in the lead role in this film after the success of his earlier movie The Deer Hunter (1978).
One of two spy films that director Charles Jarrott made in 1981. The other was Condorman (1981).
This was the second consecutive espionage movie appearance for actress Marthe Keller whose previous film had been The Formula (1980). It was also the second consecutive spy movie for cinematographer John Coquillon whose previous film had been Final Assignment (1980).
"Kaplan: I lost my first wife, my first family. Two beautiful little girls. In the war, in the camps. I thought for a long time the loss would kill me but, I survived. Charles Heller: How? Kaplan: By creating a ritual to keep me alive. To survive the death of people close to you, you need a ritual. A ritual for revenge is what I made. I thought about it and planned it every waking moment. When I got out I spent three years tracking down the doctor who sent them to the camps. Charles Heller: Did you find him? Kaplan: I found him, yes. Charles Heller: What did... what did you do? Kaplan: I created one last ritual. With these hands I strangled him. Charles Heller: It didn't bring them back from the dead. Kaplan: No, it brought me back from the dead!"
