One job, one big pay-off, three essential components:

Mo - the hard-case, the career-criminal, fresh out of prison after a long stretch 'inside'. The mastermind.

Tracey - the pretty, vulnerable girl, trapped in a world of drugs and prostitution.

Nevil - the handsome, lazy charmer who has tired of the succession of rich and ageing women he has duped into supporting him.

Each of them wants a way out and Mo has a scheme that promises the money and freedom they all so desperately desire. The Operators is a British Noir classic from the creator of Z-Cars and Softly, Softly.
