The Manchurian Candidate.

Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) is credited by the survivors with saving their lives in combat during the Korean War. Shaw is awarded the Medal of Honor after being captured by the Soviets in Manchuria. He is revealed to have had been programmed by Russian and Chinese communists to be a sleeper agent who will blindly obey orders without any memory of his actions. Shaw's programming is triggered by seeing the Queen of Hearts card while playing solitaire after being induced by his handlers.
