The Final Option has American players Richard Widmark and Robert Webber joining a British cast playing the American Secretary of State and head of the Strategic Air Command over in London for an arms limitation conference. What happens is that they get taken hostage by a radical group of terrorists who are nicely moled into the peace movement.
British action star Lewis Collins gets a rigged incident so he can resign from the SAS the British equivalent of the Delta Force and infiltrate the peace movement. Clearly he doesn't fool anybody, but Collins has his uses and Judy Davis the head of the radical cell finds him useful in many ways.
In fact the two female terrorists Davis and Ingrid Pitt really walk off with this film with their brand of fanaticism.
When the shooting starts toward the end it is the best part of the film as SAS does what it does best, kill enemies.
Final Option is a well done action flick that the Margaret Thatcher government must have loved.
