Michael Caine is London gangster Jack Carter, returning to Newcastle to discover more about the suspicious events surrounding his brother Frank's supposedly accidental death.

Suspecting foul play, he investigates and interrogates, regaining a feel for the city and its hardened-criminal element; his quest for vengeance builds to its inevitable violent climax.

Features iconic scenes of a Newcastle now largely demolished, some classic lines, and a brilliant jazz soundtrack scored by Roy Budd

Get Carter was 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century; five years later, a survey of British film critics in Total Film magazine chose it as the greatest British film of all time.
