The film tells a story based on the murder, under the Polish communist regime, of the priest Jerzy Popiełuszko. [2] It stars Christopher Lambert as a fictionalized version of Popiełuszko and Ed Harris as the secret police captain set to assassinate him.
Everything goes wrong as Harris and his two goofy colleagues kidnap the priest and bludgeon him to death. They're even stopped by local cops. And they allow a key witness to escape, leading to a final series of scenes in which justice is done, at great and boring length.
