Plot: The story takes place in a future where the world is covered by a new ice age. When the film begins, Altman's camera tracks along a blank, frozen tundra which is seemingly deserted- that is, until two blurry figures in the distance can be just barely made out. They are the seal hunter Essex (Paul Newman); and his pregnant young wife, Vivia (Brigitte Fossey), the daughter of one of Essex's late hunting partners. Having returned from the South, they are venturing further up North, where Essex hopes to reunite with his brother, Francha (Thomas Hill). Essex and Vivia eventually meet up with Francha at his apartment, but the reunion is short-lived. While Essex is in the neighborhood buying firewood, a gambler by the name of Redstone (Craig Richard Nelson) sneaks into Francha's apartment and bombs it with a vial of alcohol, killing Francha, Vivia and the apartment's other inhabitants in the process. Essex, who sees Redstone fleeing from the scene of the explosion, chases him to the sector's "Information Room"; it is here that Essex then witnesses the subsequent murder of Redstone by a Latin-speaking gambler named St. Christopher (Vittorio Gassman). When St. Christopher leaves the scene, Essex finds a piece of paper in Redstone's coat pocket. On the paper is a list of names: Francha, Redstone, Goldstar, Deuca, St. Christopher, and Ambrosia. Puzzled by the mystery of this tragic chain of events, Essex discovers that Redstone had previously checked into the Hotel Electra, a gambling resort in another sector. Taking matters into his own hands, Essex visits the Hotel Electra and assumes Redstone's identity. Immediately after checking in, Essex is given an unexpected welcome by Grigor (Fernando Rey), who is the dealer in the casino downstairs. Insisting that he means no harm, Grigor invites Essex (who is going by the name of "Redstone") to the casino, where gamblers are now heavily involved in a "Quintet" tournament. It is here that Essex first makes acquaintance with Ambrosia (Bibi Andersson), who always plays the "sixth man" in the game.–from wikipedia
