When SAS Captain Peter Skellen is thrown out of the service for gross misconduct due to unnecessary violence and bullying, he is soon recruited by The People’s Lobby, a fanatical group aiming to hold several US dignitaries hostage. But Skellen’s dismissal is a front to enable him to get close to the terrorist group. Can he get close enough to stop the Lobby from creating an international incident?

Viewing Notes
Judy Davis is kinda great as the rich American leader of the terrorist group in this Thatcherist tribute to Britain’s Special Air Service (SAS) even though in retrospect they kind of come off as floundering idiots who can’t penetrate the terrorist group for five minutes without blowing their cover with terribly non-clandestine meetups with the handler. Hilarious! This is a movie I’d have been all over as a kid though.
