Synopsis

The British security forces learn that a militant group attached to the anti-nuclear movement plans a significant act of terrorism, however their plant is unmasked and publicly killed during a protest march. To find out what is being planned, they recruit the services of the SAS. SAS officer, Capt Peter Skellen (Lewis Collins) is picked for the mission. After faking his dismissal from the SAS for beating two visiting counter-terrorist officers in a mountain training exercise, he goes under cover to infiltrate the militant group by seducing its leader. Despite his convincing efforts, he is detected meeting his wife. Knowing this, the terrorists decide they can use Skellen as a part of their plan and do not let him know that he has been found out.

The group kills the secret service go between after tailing Skellen to a meeting and later take his wife and child hostage. Before he can report what he has learned to his superiors, the group hijacks a coach carrying a military band and use their uniforms to gain access to the American ambassador's residence. They take over the building and demand that a nuclear weapon be fired at the Holy Loch submarine base in Scotland. When it becomes clear that negotiations will not work, the SAS is sent in to deal with the terrorists. During the siege, Skellen is disarmed, but manages to send a Morse code light signal through a bathroom window. The SAS leader signals back that a raid will begin at 10 a.m., so Skellen can be prepared when the power is cut.

At the appointed time, Skellen disarms a terrorist. He kills several more in the dining room before rejoining his SAS colleagues who have now entered the house. At the end, he comes face to face with the group's leader. As he hesitates, she goes to kill him, but is killed by SAS soldiers.

The film ends in a politically divisive manner with an on-screen list of notable terrorist incidents accompanied by a menacing rendition of the British Labour Party's Red Flag anthem.
