When armed gunmen seize the Iranian Embassy in 1980 , a tense 6 day standoff ensues while elite British soldiers prepare for a dangerous raid to save the many hostages inside.

This true story movie came out in 2017 and stars Mark Strong, Abbie Cornish, and Jamie Bell.

The movie was very good playing out the most important parts of those 6 days and tells how to this day some of the same tactics are still used in similar situations. While these terrorist are people, human beings, with the best of intentions and honorable causes , they chose the wrong way to get the worlds attention. I try to see from their side and although could never actually understand what they go through living in Iran , can understand how they may feel the need for the rest of the world to know their cause.

Power, control, money,
