Outlaw

The film opens by introducing a cross-section of Londoners who feel the justice system isn't delivering fairness. Their shared discontent sets the stage for a vigilante response. The common thread is trust slipping away from institutions.

Nice guy Gene Dekker is brutally beaten by a yob following a minor car collision. The assault leaves him shaken and public perception of safety in the city worsens. The incident becomes a catalyst for his later actions.

Paratrooper Danny Bryant returns from abroad to discover his wife with another man, fueling his disgust with Britain's state affairs. He questions the country’s stability after front-line experiences. The personal betrayal adds to his sense of grievance.

Crown Court barrister Cedric Munroe receives death threats aimed at his pregnant wife as leverage to drop the case against Terry Manning. He weighs the danger against continuing to prosecute Manning. The pressure highlights corruption and intimidation within the system.

Cambridge University student Sandy Mardell, recently scarred in an unprovoked attack, has just left hospital. He carries the trauma as the thugs who attacked him are released from prison, fueling his anger and resolve. His family ties to Bryant connect him to the others.

Simultaneously, hotel security guard Simon Hillier—an ex football hooligan with a network—becomes the linchpin that connects the men. His knowledge of the criminal underworld allows the group to see a possible path to action. He signals the formation of a vigilante response.

With Hillier's help, the men form the vigilante group known as the Outlaws. They begin coordinating information and deciding who to target, essentially banding together as a unified force. The plan centers on using Bryant's military grade firearms to level the playing field.

The Outlaws start striking at Manning associated figures, gathering intelligence from Walter Lewis, their sole trustworthy police contact. The operation draws media attention as their anonymous actions take on a crusading air. They rely on the weapons Bryant stole during his service.

The Outlaws reveal their identities to Manning's man Ian Furlong, triggering a brutal chain of consequences. Walter Lewis is killed by Furlong, and Bryant is framed for the murder. The group disbands in confusion, and Bryant executes Hillier for being a liability.

With insufficient evidence, Manning is released from custody, and the city briefly breathes as the threat seems to recede. Bryant uses the opportunity to pursue Furlong directly in public, signaling the take no prisoners stance.

Bryant corners Ian Furlong in a pub and shoots him, ending one of the key threats. The act signals a personal vendetta taking precedence over due process. The hunt for Manning continues through other channels.

Dekker, now aware that Manning is hiding in the countryside, skips his own wedding to pursue the trail and contact Munroe. He reaches out to his old ally to coordinate an assault. The personal cost of their crusade tightens the resolve.

Sandy Mardell joins Bryant and Dekker, accepting that they may not survive the attack on Manning's home. They prepare for a high-stakes operation against Manning's countryside hideout. The stakes are personal and deadly.

The three infiltrate Manning's home only to find an ambush by corrupt police, with Sgt. Grieves at the helm. A fierce gunfight erupts and they flee into the woods, pursued by armed officers. The raid ends in tragedy for the vigilantes, with Bryant killed and Munroe murdered.

Dekker feigns death, escapes through the forest, and finally confronts Manning in the car park. The climactic shot brings down the crime lord at point-blank range, sealing a brutal denouement. The film closes on Dekker's quiet victory over a corrupt order.
