In the Name of the Father
1993 · TMDB 7.9
Directed by Jim Sheridan
A small-time Belfast thief, Gerry Conlon, is wrongly convicted of an IRA bombing in London, along with his father and friends, and spends 15 years in prison fighting to prove his innocence.
Why it matters
Jim Sheridan's powerful drama about the Guildford Four, with Daniel Day-Lewis and Emma Thompson, and a devastating supporting performance from Pete Postlethwaite as Giuseppe Conlon.
