The Final Option or Who Dares Wins (Original British Title) is a 1982 action film starring Lewis Collins, Judy Davis, and Edward Woodward, with Richard Widmark, directed by Ian Sharp (The Professionals). Producer Euan Lloyd (The Wild Geese, Shalako) was so inspired by the storming of the Iranian embassy by the SAS in 1980, an event he watched live in person, he immediately got the ball rolling on a film about the SAS. Filming was done with the full cooperation of the SAS and the British Army. Star Lewis Collins had actually passed SAS selection at one point, but was ultimately rejected due to his fame.
