Entrepreneurial mob boss Harold Shand (Academy
Award-nominee Bob Hoskins, Mona Lisa) runs an
underworld empire but his dreams are much bigger.
He and his sophisticated wife (Oscar-winner Helen
Mirren, The Queen) aspire to partner with American
mobsters to turn the barren docklands of London
into a development for the upcoming Olympics. But
their perfect plan begins to unravel when a string
of deadly bombings leads Shand to the stunning
realization that he is being targeted by the IRA.

A bloody race to hold on to his crumbling schemes
brings him to an explosive climax in this taut,
riveting thriller.
