Jim, a geography teacher at a London comprehensive school, lives alone, his sexuality a half open secret to everyone but his pupils and his parents. He spends the evenings at gay bars and discos looking vainly for 'Mr. Right'.

"When it was released in 1979, Nighthawks, directed by Ron Peck and Paul Hallam, was a progenitor of the many, many coming-out tales that have been made by young gay directors in the time since. Almost twenty years on, there's still strength in this story" - Ray Pride, Film Vault.

Hugely controversial on its initial release, Nighthawks was one of the first british movies to accurately depict the life of a gay man in London.
