On the 30th April 1980, the curtains went up on the opening act of a six-day drama, which was broadcast live on national television across the world. When terrorists holding Iraqi passports, seized the Iranian Embassy in Prince's Gate, London, taking 26 people including four British citizens, hostage, so began the drama of the 'Iranian Embassy Siege' which resulted in the final act of the legendary SAS storming the building. For the first time, this 90 minute feature-length documentary, takes you behind-the-scenes and into the front-line of one of the most spectacular rescue operations ever filmed.
