Castor Troy
Face/Off film (1997)
Castor Troy is an international terrorist for hire. He is relentlessly pursued by Sean Archer, an FBI agent whose son Castor accidentally killed in an assassination attempt years earlier. The FBI receives information that Castor's brother Pollux has chartered a plane at a Los Angeles airport, leading Archer to believe that Castor is with him. Archer leads an FBI team in chasing the plane down a runway and is able to shoot one of the engines. Unable to take off, Castor kills the pilot and crashes the plane into a hangar. In the ensuing chaos, Pollux is captured by the FBI and Castor is knocked into a coma after bragging to Archer about a bomb that would destroy Los Angeles.
The FBI finds schematics for the bomb on a disk found in the plain wreckage,and Archer realizes that it is real. Unable to find the location of the bomb, Archer knows that he must obtain the location from Castor's brother Pollux. Knowing he would never confess the bomb's location to the FBI, Archer's colleagues convince him to undergo a surgical procedure to switch faces with Castor's comatose body.
After the procedure, arrangements are made for Archer (as Castor) to be incarcerated with Pollux so that he can discover the location of the bomb which he does successfully. The real Castor awakens from the coma he has been in and has the procedure performed on himself, stealing Archer's face. Castor then kills all associated with the operation and visits Archer in prison. Castor (as Archer) has the FBI negotiate a deal with his brother for his release in return for revealing the bomb's location. Castor disarms the bomb and revels in praise from his colleagues and the media, informing his brother that they are going straight.
Archer (as Castor) escapes from the prison, which is set aboard an offshore oil platform, and swims to shore. He visits known associate of Castor's, Dietrich Hassler, and asks him for help killing Sean Archer (Castor). Archer (as Castor) meets Sasha and her son Adam, of whom Castor is the father. Pollux Troy is watching Dietrich's apartment and informs Castor of Archer's arrival. Castor (as Archer) sends an FBI team to kill Archer. A gunfight ensues, Dietrich is killed by Castor (as Archer) and Archer (as Castor) manages to kill Pollux.
FBI Director Victor Lazaro berates Castor (as Archer) for the bloodbath. Castor, still angry at the loss of his brother, confesses his true identity to Lazaro and kills him, later blaming the death on a heart attack. Meanwhile, Archer (as Castor) returns to his suburban home and is able to explain the situation and convince his wife that he is really Archer.
Sasha and Archer (as Castor) track Castor to Lazaro's funeral, where Castor (as Archer) is holding hostage, Archer's wife and daughter Jamie. A standoff leads to a gunfight in which Sasha and Castor's men are killed. They fight and Archer gains the upper hand. Jamie finds a gun and shoots at Archer, believing him to be Castor, but only wounds him. Castor escapes in a boat, pursued by Archer (as Castor). After a chase they are thrown ashore. The two fight and Archer kills Castor with a spear gun. Archer's wife is able to convince the FBI of Sean's true identity and the face swap is reversed.

Castor was already a maniac, but removing his face only made him worse. |
