When one man goes against the mob, he starts a war that blows the city apart. 1960s crime drama starring Sean Connery, Herbert Lom, John Gregson, Yvonne Romain and Alfred Marks. Sean Connery stars as Paddy Damion, a thief who is recruited by mobster Harry Foulcher to oversee his money collection. Paddy is no thug but takes the job because his partner has been injured in a robbery and he feels obligated to support him. Foulcher is actually the puppet of criminal mastermind Zhernikov, who has the image of a respectable businessman but is in fact manipulating the local mobsters for his own ends. Also in the mix are the beautiful Anya, wannabe singer and Zhernikov\'s mistress, to whom Paddy immediately takes a shine, and Sayers the dedicated cop trying to crack open organised crime.
