The Gentle Gunman

Two Irish brothers living in London become involved with the IRA during World War II. Terry, the elder, is a committed IRA member who believes in using violence to further the republican cause, while Matt, his younger brother, is less certain about the righteousness of their mission. Their lives are thrown into turmoil when they are ordered to participate in a bombing campaign in England, aimed at drawing attention to the IRA's cause. As the brothers carry out their clandestine activities, their actions put them into direct conflict not only with British law enforcement but also with each other, as Matt’s conscience begins to trouble him. The tension grows as both men struggle to reconcile their personal morals with their loyalty to the movement.

Complications arise when a planned bombing threatens innocent lives, including those of people within their own community. Matt’s reluctance and questioning of violence put a strain on his relationship with Terry, whose unwavering dedication to the cause blinds him to the costs. The brothers are forced to confront the harsh realities of their actions as the police close in, with suspicion looming over everyone they know. As their world becomes increasingly dangerous and paranoid, both men find themselves at a crossroads, compelled to make difficult choices about where their true loyalties lie and how far they’re willing to go for their beliefs.
