AN UNGENTLEMANLY ACT

Details

• Release Year: 1992
• Genre: Drama, War
• Plot: On the tiny Falkland Islands, April 1, 1982 started normally enough, but before midnight, an old conflict had exploded and enemy soldiers were creeping ashore. This award winning drama takes a wry look at the first hours of the Falklands War. Ian Richardson (House of Cards) is Sir Rex Hunt, unflappable governor of the islands, determined to defend his office - and send his flustered wife (Rosemary Leach - A Room with a View) off to safety (with a bottle). Bob Peck (Jurassic Park) is Major Mike Norman, who faces the Argentinian invaders with a handful of gutsy Royal Marines. In the midst of the chaos, disbelieving civilians do their best to carry on - with some unintentionally comic results.; Filmed in the Falklands, this extraordinary drama captures the acts of courage (and absurd black humour) that occur when a small corner of the world suddenly becomes a battlefield.
