At the height of the bitter battle for Mount Longdon during the Falklands War 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment's assault has stalled in the face of determined resistance. With his platoon held up by an Argentine machine gun it falls to Sergeant Ian Mc Kay to act. The machine gun has to be silenced to break the deadlock. Gathering a small group together Ian Mc Kay leads them in a headlong dash into the teeth of a withering fire. One by one they fall until only Ian Mc Kay is left charging on alone towards the Argentine gun & a place in history. His was the final act of a man who lived breathed & was shaped by the Parachute Regiment: an act which earned him a posthumous Victoria Cross. This is the story of Ian Mc Kay: the last British hero of the Twentieth Century.
