*SPOILERS*
I have seen this movie on TV in France where it was called "meurtre sur la fréquence", following french annoying use of always changing the movie titles.
The plot deals with a lone man in a TV station lost in the swiss or italian mountains watching on one of the channels he transmits the image of a murder shot by a CCTV system.
While he has no idea where in the world this happened, he manages to contact on the air a little boy connected to his late father's CB radio et the top of a lighthouse in the US.
Together, they try to discover the truth about that murder, and to avoid being caught by the spies.
What impressed me much about Qualcuno in ascolto is that it sounds to me as quite realistic, for a spy story. Quite far away from James Bond & Co, where the spies are really dangerous, the main character (the TV station operator) is really in danger and the boy, though smart, does not manage to be better than both the spies and the police. This is quite a relief after so many films like Spy Kids or Home Alone.
Though not the best movie I ever seen, I would recommend it strongly.
