This gripping thriller is set mainly in London but the backdrop is the all too frighteningly real world of international terrorism. Rod Steiger plays top Israeli nuclear physicist Professor David Sokarev, officially invited to London to deliver a prestige lecture to British scientists. Thousands of miles away in the hot, dusty Labanese countryside, fanatical Palestinian freedom fighters are planning Operation Mushroom-a plan to gun down Sokarev in London. The Arabs have joined forces with an IRA (Irish Republican Army) member and together the two young men -The Glory Boys-form a murderous combination stalking the streets of London waiting for the moment to strike. Appointed to protect Sokarev is special agent, Jimmy, played by Anthony Perkins. His instructions are simple-body to body protection for Sokarev every moment he is on British soil. Sokarev must stay alive at all costs, even if he, Jimmy has to die in the process.... © Yorkshire Television/ITV Studios Ltd
