Defence of the Realm is set in the politically charged atmosphere of Thatchers Britain, newspaper reporters are hungry for a story that will make them famous. Nick Mullen (Gabriel Byrne) is a reporter for the London Daily Dispatch. A top member of Parliament, Dennis Markham (Ian Bannen), is the focus of the latest political scandal, after being photographed with a prostitute who is known to have Russian contacts!
Nick goes into the scandal full-bore, despite warnings from his mentor, Vernon Bayliss (Denholm Elliott), and receives a tip that makes his story a front-page item. But as he discovers, there is much more to it than he imagined.
I found Defence of the Realm a very entertaining movie, thoroughly recommended!
Here is the trailer...
