The Bofors Gun is a 1968 British drama film directed by Jack Gold and starring Nicol Williamson, David Warner, Ian Holm and John Thaw.[3][4] It was written by John McGrath based on his 1966 play Events While Guarding the Bofors Gun.[5] Set in 1954, during the British peacetime occupation of West Germany following the Second World War, it portrays the increasingly violent interaction between members of a squad of soldiers during a single night of guard duty.
