After taking leading roles in feature films such as Aces High (1976) and Joseph Andrews (1977), Peter reprised the role of Alan Starng in the movie version of Equus (1977), directed by Sidney Lumet and again co-starring with Burton. Receiving a BAFTA Award and an Academy Award® nomination, Peter next played Angel Clare in Roman Polanski's Tess (1979).

Peter has recently been seen on the big screen in Spooks: The Greater Good, a theatrical spin-off of the BBC One's series "Spooks." Peter reprises his role as 'Harry Pearce', alongside Kit Harington and Jennifer Ehle. During a handover to the head of counter-terrorism of MI5 Harry Pearce, terrorist Adem Qasim (Elyes Gabel) escapes from MI5 custody.
