English Summary:

The Long Good Friday is a 1980 British gangster film directed by John Mackenzie from a screenplay by Barrie Keeffe, starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren. Set in London, the storyline weaves together events and concerns of the late 1970s, including mid-level political and police corruption, and IRA fund-raising. The supporting cast features Eddie Constantine, Dave King, Bryan Marshall, Derek Thompson, Paul Freeman and Pierce Brosnan in his film debut.

A man delivers money to an unknown recipient in Belfast, in the process taking some of the cash for himself. As the recipients are counting the money in a country farm house they are attacked by uniformed gunmen. Soon afterwards Phil, the driver for the delivery, is kidnapped and killed. Later the delivery man, Colin, is murdered at a London swimming pool.

Harold Shand, a London gangster, is aspiring to become a legitimate businessman and is trying to form a partnership with Charlie, an American mafioso, with a plan to redevelop London Docklands, in association with local construction boss Councillor Harris. Shand's world is suddenly destabilised by a series of bomb attacks on his property and murders of his associates, including his old friend Colin. He and his henchmen try to uncover his attackers' identities by threatening corrupt police officers, informers, and other criminals, whilst simultaneously trying not to worry their visitors, fearing the Americans will abandon him if they think he's not in full control. Shand's girlfriend, Victoria, tells the Mafia representatives he is under attack from an unknown enemy, but assures them Shand is working to quickly resolve the crisis. She starts to suspect that Shand's right hand man, Jeff, knows more about who is behind the attacks than he claims.

 

 

Hungarian Summary:

Az 1970-es évek végén játszódó történet egy-két nap történetébe sűrítve mutatja be az 1970-es végének londoni miliőjét, az alsóbb szinteken is általános politikai és rendőri korrupciót, a Ír Köztársasági Hadsereg (IRA) fegyveres ámokfutását, a hagyományos brit gazdaság átcsúszását globális ingatlanspekulációba, Nagy-Britannia belépését a Közös Piacba, és a szabadpiaci ököljog és a politikai terrorizmus összecsapását.

A történet főszereplője Harold Shand (Bob Hoskins) egy régi vágású londoni gengszter, a londoni alvilág koronázatlan királya, aki még az 1960-as években építette fel szindikátusát. London jelentős része a kezében, számtalan kocsma, kaszinó, étterem és klub tulajdonosa. Birodalmát erőszakosan, megalkuvást nem ismerve irányítja. Karrierje csúcsán azon dolgozik, hogy törvényes üzletemberré váljon, az amerikai maffia pénzügyi támogatásával. Monstre ingatlanfejlesztést tervez a lerobbant londoni Docklandsben, a jövendő Olimpiai játékokra számítva. Éppen sikeres New-York-i tárgyalásairól érkezik vissza Londonba.
