Veteran Chicago detective Jim Brannigan (John Wayne) is dispatched to London to bring back notorious gangster Ben Larkin (John Vernon), and is assured that the whole operation will run smoothly... However, things don’t go to plan and Brannigan soon finds himself in the crosshairs of Larkin’s thugs. Reluctantly teaming up with by-the-book Commander Swann of Scotland Yard (Richard Attenborough), Brannigan tears through London leaving behind a trail of destruction whilst determined to re-capture Larkin.
