Auf den Schwingen des Todes (1987)
Nachdem der IRA-Terrorist Martin Fallon aus Versehen einen Schulbus in die Luft gesprengt hat, beschließt er, aus seinem mörderischen Geschäft auszusteigen. Aber sein Boss Jack Meehan will, dass er zuvor noch dessen größten Rivalen in der Terrororganisation umbringt. Fallon tut, was Meehan ihm aufträgt, aber anschließend vertraut er sich dem Priester Da Costa an, der zufällig Zeuge dieses neuen Mordes geworden ist. Obwohl sich Da Costa an das Beichtgeheimnis hält und Fallon nicht verrät, verlangt Meehan nun auch die Liquidation dieses Zeugen. Als Fallon sich weigert, wird der Killer selbst zum Gejagten.
