A Prayer for the Dying (1987)

In the chilling heart of Ireland's I.R.A., Martin Fallon, a skilled bomber, orchestrates an attack on a troop truck that tragically misfires, leading to the death of a bus full of innocent school children. This harrowing mistake shakes Fallon to his core, causing him to renounce his affiliation with the movement and seek solace far from the blood-soaked fields of his homeland, in the bustling streets of London. His dream of starting anew is within reach, but the I.R.A., wary of the secrets he carries, is determined to reel him back into their deadly fold. Meanwhile, a local crime lord, Meehan, offers Fallon a tantalizing deal - a single hit on a rival kingpin in exchange for his freedom. Torn between his desire for peace and the need for survival, Fallon performs the hit, but his actions don't go unnoticed. A devout Catholic priest witnesses the gruesome act, thrusting Fallon into a moral quagmire. Refusing to stain his hands with the blood of another innocent, he must devise a plan to evade both the relentless pursuit of the police and the clutches of his former compatriots. As Fallon navigates this perilous path, he finds unexpected companionship in the priest and his vulnerable niece, but his dark past and relentless former employers cast a menacing shadow over their lives. 'A Prayer for the Dying' knits together a tale of guilt, redemption, and the desperate battle for a second chance, where every decision could mean life or death.
