Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was one of two Sean Dillon TV movies adapted from Jack Higgins novels, both starring MacLachlan—neither led to the series the network clearly wanted.

Cultural

Released during the Good Friday Agreement negotiations, its IRA protagonist-as-hero framing now plays as deeply weird historical artifact.
