A Prayer for the Dying (1987) (original) (raw)
Martin Fallon is an IRA bomber who tries to blow up a transport of British troops, but instead murders a busload of school children. Afterwards, he loses heart, quits the movement, and goes to London to start a new life. The IRA, however, will not let him go because he knows too much, and the local crime boss will only help him if he performs one last hit. When Martin almost performs the hit and hesitates, he is witnessed by a Catholic priest, Father Da Costa. He refuses to murder an innocent again and must find a way to escape the police without harming the priest who can identify him.
