CrimeDramaThriller101 min
After he’s framed for a policeman’s murder, a criminal escapes prison and heads back into London’s underworld to find the people who set him up. Trevor Howard is the hunted man at the center of it, moving through a black-and-white world of gangs, police pressure, and shifting loyalties. Sally Gray appears among the criminals and uneasy allies caught in his path as the search for revenge pulls him deeper into the city’s shadow economy. The setup turns a jailbreak into a manhunt, with the law closing in while he tries to get back to the betrayal that sent him away.
