Bergerac (1981) ‘Campaign For Silence’ | Moving Image : Clips


Hard-up former military man Furneaux (Ian Hendry) is working on a book about his experiences as a prisoner in the Korean war, when his young ghost writer is killed and the manuscript stolen, after which Furneaux gets a threatening call not to publish the book. After he has been framed for a hit-and-run it becomes clear that his book exposes a recently-deceased supposed war hero who was, in fact, a murderer, and that the man’s son and his regiment will stop at nothing to prevent publication, including drafting in an assassin.
