Defence of the Realm
1986 · 1h 36m · Action, Thriller · United Kingdom · Rated PG (US)
Just how far will a government go to hide the truth?
A reporter named Mullen 'stumbles' onto a story linking a prominent Member of Parliament to a KGB agent and a near-nuclear disaster involving a teenage runaway and a U.S. Air Force base. Has there been a Government cover-up? Mullen teams up with Vernon Bayliss, an old hack, and Nina Beckam, the MP's assistant, to find out the truth.
