The Hit

The Hit

"The Hit" is a 1984 feature film directed by Stephen Frears and starring John Hurt, Terence Stamp and Tim Roth. "The Hit" was Stamp's first leading role in over a decade and Roth won an Evening Standard award as the apprentice hit man.

Plot

Parker (Stamp) a former gangster is living in Spain under an assumed identity having given evidence ten years before against his underworld masters. Two hit men the world weary Braddock (Hurt) and Myron (Roth) a young thug on his first 'hit' arrive to drive Parker to Paris where he will be killed. Parker is philosophic about his fate and agrees to go with the pair though during the resulting road trip his fatalism begins to cause increasing tension between the three men, as does the girl they take with them.
