Edge of Darkness

A TV mini-series written by Troy Kennedy-Martin and directed by Martin Campbell.

Ronald Craven is a Yorkshire police inspector obsessed with solving the mystery surrounding his daughter Emma's murder. His investigation leads him not only into his own past but into subversive anti-government groups, international intelligence conspiracies, and globalist elitism. The story spirals into a gripping eco-thriller of political conspiracy, secret service machinations and even shady medieval societies. As Craven draws closer to the dangerous inner sanctums of organised environmental protests and nuclear power interests, he discovers the ultimate truths at the heart of our society.

This cult 80s apocalyptic political thriller stands up surprisingly well to the test of time. With its award winning performances and the unforgettable score by Eric Clapton, the film's impact is as powerful, terrifying and moving now as when first screened in 1985.
