Hawks is a 1988 British comedy film about two terminally ill patients, an English lawyer named Bancroft ( Timothy Dalton) and a young American football player ( Anthony Edwards), who decide to sneak out of their hospital rooms and live life to its fullest for whatever time they have left. Their goal is to reach a famous brothel in Amsterdam. Along the way, they encounter various characters including a pair of misfit British women played by Camille Coduri and Janet McTeer.
It was filmed on location in London's Charing Cross Hospital and in the Netherlands.
