When a deadly virus strikes London, John Custane takes his family to hoped-for safety in Scotland.

Well crafted action packed eco-apocalypse drama, a mad cow style virus breaks out across the world, causing mass panic and diminishing food supplies. The Japanese goverment kills millions of its citizens with the British goverment likely to follow. John Custance whose living in London decides he's best fleeing the city with his family to seek refuge with his brother in Scotland, only the government have turned the country into a police state closing down all the bigger towns and roads. The rules have now changed for the Custane family and various like minded citizens they pick up during their journey, its now a case of kill or be killed to survive.

Quality drama directed and penned by Cornel Wilde, its got a real anti government vibe, and features more shootings and murders than a Peckinpah western. Nigel Davenport complete with eye patch is fantastic in the lead role.
