After 20 years on the British police force, Detective Sergeant Johnson (Connery) has seen too much: 20 years of murders, rapes and countless other violent crimes. One day while interrogating a snide, sarcastic suspect in a child molestation case, all of his pent up anger and hatred surfaces and Johnson loses control, killing the man. What has started out as a routine investigation has turned into a case of police brutality, and Johnson must now attempt to reconcile his own violent behaviour.

The harrowing portrayal of police brutality is directed by Sidney Lumet (Dog Day Afternoon, Network) and features superb performances by Connery and the supporting cast, which includes Trevor Howard (Mutiny On The Bounty) and Vivien Merchant (Alfie).
