Plot
After a failed mission to destroy an Iranian bioweapon, British Special Boat Service operator Sergeant John Stratton, working for the Intelligence Detachment in Northern Ireland, tracks down the terrorist cell who used the mission as cover to steal the weapon for their own purposes. Due to the failed mission Stratton suspects a mole. His boss Sumner recognizes the terrorist leader as Grigory Barovsky a Russian spy, presumed dead for nearly twenty years. They learn a bomb maker has developed a drone system to disperse the bioweapon, and track the terrorists to Rome.
There is a speedboat chase with heavy gunfire, before the final action sequence, which takes place in London with the poison device loaded onto a British double-decker bus (so as to blend in), configured to automatically deploy through an opening cut into the bus’s roof once it arrives at a location preprogrammed into the device’s firmware.
