Closed CircuitDir: John Crowley
Following a terrorist explosion in London, the police swoop on Farroukh Erdogan, detaining him as the primary suspect going into one of the most high-profile cases in British history.
Legal team Martin Rose (Eric Bana) and Claudia Simmons (Rebecca Hall) are assigned to take over Erdogan’s defence, after his original lawyer fell from a roof. Each represent him in open and closed hearings respectively, and neither is allowed contact with the other. What people don’t know, however, is that Martin and Claudia are former lovers.
Two exceptional lawyers with a secret romantic history step into a dangerous web of secrets and lies, and when evidence points to a possible British secret service cover-up, it’s not just their reputations but also their lives that are at stake.
Closed Circuit was made by Irish John Crowley from a screenplay by Stephen Knight, and is now in cinemas nationwide.
