Description: 'Who Dares Wins' is a 1982 British action thriller directed by Ian Sharp, also known as 'The Final Option' in the United States. The film follows SAS Captain Peter Skellen, portrayed by Lewis Collins, who is dismissed from the service for misconduct. He is subsequently recruited by a radical group aiming to hold American diplomats hostage, allowing him to infiltrate and thwart their plans. The movie is loosely inspired by the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege, with significant fictional elements. It features a notable cast including Judy Davis as Frankie Leith, Richard Widmark as Secretary of State Arthur Currie, and Edward Woodward as Commander Powell. The film was released in the UK on August 26, 1982, and in the US on September 16, 1983, under the title 'The Final Option'. Despite its action sequences receiving some praise, the film was a box-office disappointment and faced criticism for its portrayal of the nuclear disarmament movement.
