What happens when a city faces a cell of fanatics with a single goal - to bring the maximum terror to the civilian population? In 1974 that cell was the IRA. Four men hiding out in London bedsits carried out over 40 separate incidents across the capital that were to redefine the British experience of living in terror.
This film shows how a city and its people reel under the impact of a sustained attack, but can finally find the resolve to face the onslaught and defeat it.
This is the story of mainland Britain's first brush with dedicated terrorists, the cat-and-mouse detective work and the final dramatic armed standoff of the Balcombe Street siege.
