In 1985 the peaceful harbour of Auckland, New Zealand was rocked by an explosion, the shock waves of which reverberated across the world. The Rainbow Warrior, the ultimate symbol of peace, had been bombed and sent to the depths with a crew member on board.

This cinematic three-part series pieces together the extraordinary events leading up to that fateful night and, with personal testimony from those involved including the bombers themselves, unravels the astounding twists, turns and bizarre gaffes that eventually led to the indictment of the powerful government at the heart of this story.
