PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A NIGHT ON THE EDGE! THE SMELL OF MONEY... THE TASTE OF POWER... THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. London's East End is run by hard faced men who get what they want - when they want it, even if that means violence and murder. Frank is no exception - he's an old timer who has run his Empire with a fist of iron but now things are changing and he's got trouble. A new breed of racketeers are here - the ones who deal in money, drugs - and other people's lives. They want control and are willing to do anything to get it. So when an American who's got £3 billion to spend comes to town - everyone want's a piece of the action and tonight's the night it's going to happen. What begins as a fight for power ends up with one of the most brutal orgies of violence that the East End has ever seen... Director Ron Peck has captured all the raw energy of London's underworld in a film that is the natural successor to 'The Long Good Friday' and 'Mona Lisa'. © National Film Trustee Co. Ltd.
