American Don Murray is a student at an Irish medical school. One night he watches in horror as a friend is shot in the street as he rushes to help a fallen rebel. Despite his initial disinterest, he gets drawn into the conflict by circumstance. His medical school professor, James Cagney, turns out to be the leader of the local uprising. At first, he admires Cagney, but comes to hate him when he realizes the depth of his brutality. Well acted all around, though at times it can be difficult to root for what are essentially terrorists.
