Cal is a 1984 Irish drama film directed by Pat O'Connor and starring John Lynch and Helen Mirren.

He acts as a driver on a nighttime murder of a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), which takes place at the victim's home in view of his father, who is also shot.

He and his father live in the city, where they feel threatened by Orange Order marches and are harassed by Loyalist gangs.

Initially he works as a hand and, after he and his father are burned out, moves to a semi-derelict cottage on the farm, without telling the IRA his new location.

In the ensuing crash, Cal escapes and makes his way to Marcella's home, where he declares his love for her and hints at his involvement in her husband's murder.
