Rupert Penry-Jones stars in this adaptation of John Buchan's classic novel, set in 1914. Engineer Richard Hannay is bored and restless in London - until he meets Scudder, who claims to be a British spy. When the agent is killed in his flat, Hannay is thrown headlong into adventure, forced to go on the run under suspicion of murder. Fleeing to Scotland, with police and spies on his tail, he teams up with feisty suffragette Victoria Sinclair, and although they fail to hit it off, the couple become increasingly reliant on each other as they race to unmask a traitor and save Great Britain from German invasion. Action thriller, co-starring Eddie Marsan and Lydia Leonard
