The Final Option

The closest you’ll ever get to knowing the secrets of the legendary SAS. Special Air Service Captain Skellen (Lewis Collins, TV’s The Professionals) takes the ultimate risk when he infiltrates a fanatical anti-nuclear group led by the ruthless Frankie Leith (Judy Davis, Barton Fink). When the group raids the American Embassy, Skellen and his elite SAS colleagues must use all of their expertise and courage to save the lives of the high-ranking hostages being held captive. Inspired by the real-life Iranian Embassy siege of 1980 in London, The Final Option (also known as Who Dares Wins) is a slam-bang counterterrorism thriller written by Reginald Rose (12 Angry Men), directed by Ian Sharp (Tracker) and co-starring Richard Widmark (Time Limit), Edward Woodward (TV’s The Equalizer), Ingrid Pitt (Where Eagles Dare) and Robert Webber (The Dirty Dozen).
