SYNOPSIS:

Based on the popular ‘70s British television series, the film centers on the men and women of the London Metropolitan Police Service’s Flying Squad unit. The team is lead by ethically questionable officer Jack Regan (Winstone) and his loyal partner George Carter (Drew). After they stop a warehouse robbery, Internal affairs officer Ivan Lewis (Mackintosh) begins investigating Regan, who is also sleeping with Lewis’ wife, fellow flying squad officer Nancy (Atwell). The team begins to investigate a jewelry heist gone wrong and Regan suspects his old foe Francis Allen (Anderson), who he soon discovers is setting him up with the help of a dangerous Serbian criminal. With Lewis hot on his trail, Regan dedicates himself to bringing down Allen and his partners anyway he can, against the advice of his boss Frank Haskins (Lewis), and at the price of the death of one of the most beloved members of his squad. 

The Sweeney opens in U.S. theaters and On Demand March 1st.
