Open Fire is a 1994 film that presents a story based on real events from 1983. The plot focuses on Finch, a young police officer who, at the beginning of the film, is awarded a medal for bravery in the course of duty after he arrested an armed criminal. Alongside him is David Martin, a transvestite with a provocative and aggressive temperament who is released from prison having served his latest sentence. Martin is described as one of Britain's most wanted men during the 1980s in a compelling drama directed by Paul Greengrass. When Martin is caught again during a burglary, he shoots one of the police officers. Meanwhile, a separate synopsis notes that mercenaries led from Kruger seize an entire city, and one man sets out to stop them. The film features a cast that includes Rupert Graves, Kate Hardie, Douglas Hodge, and Jim Carter.
