Plot summary
The Iranian Embassy at 16 Princes Gate in Kensington, London, is seized in April 1980 by six gunmen who hold at least 26 hostages, among them police officer Trevor Lock. Their leader, Salim, telephones Chief Inspector Max Vernon with a demand: the freedom of 91 Arab prisoners held in Iran, or a hostage will die at noon the next day. While Lance Corporal Rusty Firmin and his SAS team prepare to storm the building, and BBC reporter Kate Adie covers the siege from outside, Vernon negotiates by phone and offers to help him avoid violence. Salim releases one ill hostage, and after food is delivered he agrees to extend his deadline by 48 hours, asking for safe passage to Heathrow with ambassadors from the Arab League.
