Released in the U.K. as "Who Dares Wins" -- the motto of the British Special Air Service -- this Cold War thriller stars Lewis Collins as a disgraced SAS soldier who infiltrates a comically anti-American militant group (led by Judy Davis) that is bent on nuclear extortion. A veritable documentary on the service's tactics, the final battle resembles the real-life SAS assault on the Iranian embassy in London two years earlier.
The SAS would return in the 1999 BBC telefilm Bravo Two Zero, which starred Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) in the true-life tale of a British soldier captured behind enemy lines during the first Gulf War.
