The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Lovely poem. The last part was used in some spy novel or movie to wake up the sleeper agents. I don't remember which one.

Telefon, starring Charles Bronson.He was a Soviet agent tracking down all the sleepers that were to be awakened by that verse. Another agent had gone rogue and was activating them all, and Bronson’s character was there to stop it. Lots of crashes, explosions, etc.

That one would make for an interesting remake today.
