They plan to gain access to the US Embassy in London and hold the Ambassador and his guests hostage, while making outrageous demands of the British Government.
I'll keep this relatively short as the previous reviewer accurately nailed this film to the floor. I saw it on its theatrical release when I was 15, and didn't think it was particularly good then. I sat up watching a late night screening on the BBC at the weekend, as it had been some years since I had last seen it. It was as bad as I remembered it to be. A combination of a poor screenplay, bad acting, equally poor direction and woolly headed politics all serve to leave us with a disjointed mess. As the previous reviewer stated, the one saving grace is the cinematography. However, this alone cannot compensate for the overall shortcomings of the film.
I noticed that the film came from the same production team that gave us 'The Wild Geese'. While that film stretched credibility in terms of the age of the protagonists, it crucially didn't take itself too seriously, and was professionally handled. 'Who Dares Wins' by comparison is a charmless shambles.
