- TriviaAt the time of release and screening - the real Sir Rex Hunt wrote a letter of complaint to the producers correcting them on matters that they had either omitted or misrepresented. In fact, he had been consulted before and after filming and had attended a private screening for him by the BBC not long before, where he had been very moved and told them he was delighted.

Featured review
Fantastic film - much underrated
User - "dinoangeloni" - I have this on DVD - leave a message if you still interested in owning it (20 years later).
A recreation of the first 36 hours of the Falklands conflict. Bob Peck plays Major Mike Norman, who has only recently arrived on the island to take over from Major Noot. Ian Richardson is Governor Sir Rex Hunt, who has only 70 Royal Marines to see off the entire Argentinian invasion fleet. Amid the confusion, several of the islanders simply go about their daily business; one lady offers the Marines tea over her garden fence.
