Harold (Bob Hoskins), a prosperous English gangster, is about to close a lucrative new deal when bombs start showing up in very inconvenient places. A mysterious syndicate is trying to muscle in on his action, and Harold wants to know who they are.
Universally regarded as one of the greatest British gangster films ever made, 'The Long Good Friday' rocketed Hoskins to international stardom. He’s given sterling support from Helen Mirren (as his upper-crust mistress) and Paul Freeman ('Raiders of the Lost Ark') and and there’s even an early appearance from Pierce Brosnan.
