The Long Good Friday (1980)

The Long Good FridayHarold hard as a rock and he will destroy you. He is the London docks and he will bring the greatest real estate in Europe. He took money from the American mafia and criminal organizations connivance in London. He was short, barrel-chest, with his thinning hair combed forward over a round face and teeth that seem to always be worse. 

He could not believe that in a weekend all over the world that can come apart. Harold Shand is a veil, but she lives in a penthouse, a world-class boat cruise on the Thames anchor, has a love of a lady smart and wise (Helen Mirren), and talk obsessively about ten years he helped negotiate peace in the London underground. Then a bomb blows up his Rolls Royce, killing the driver. Another bomb destroyed a landmark that has been renovated pub has. 

A third bomb was found inside Harold Mayfair casino, but failed to explode. Who is behind it? Who are his enemies? And why he chose the worst enemy of all time as possible to come after him - Easter weekend when American mafioso in town to consider investing in real estate projects of his millions? "The Long Good Friday," which is a very difficult part of experts and film-making, ultimately does not answer this question. But the point of this movie is not to analyze the problem of Harold Shand. This is to present a portrait of this person.

The film opens with a flashback to 1989 as Kevin Flynn - now the CEO of ENCOM - tells his son Sam a story about his adventures in the Grid and about how he, Tron and Clu discovered something amazing and miraculous. Sam asks about it but is told to wait for next time as Kevin leaves for work. It then cuts to a montage of events and news reports about Kevin's disappearance, which has not only jeopardized ENCOM's future, but orphaned Sam.

In the present day, the now-adult Sam breaks into the ENCOM Tower and , despite the efforts of the board - including the son of Ed Dillinger (uncredited Cillian Murphy) steals Encom's new software, releasing it online. After being chased to the top of the tower by a security guard, Sam reveals himself and attempts to freefall off the tower only for his parachute to snag on a traffic light, and he is arrested shortly after freeing himself. Sam eventually makes bail and returns to his apartment and is met by Alan Bradley, who tells him about a page he received from his Dad's office in the arcade.
