In the Name of the Father (1993)
Based on the book 'Proved Innocent', by Gerry Conlon, the true story of the group of Irishmen dubbed the Guildford Four, who were the victims of a miscarriage of justice which saw them convicted of bombing a soldiers' pub in 1974. Daniel Day-Lewis plays Belfast wideboy and petty crook Gerry Conlon, who, along with his father (Pete Postlethwaite) and two friends, is forced into a false confession, claiming responsibility for the terrorist attack. 'My Left Foot' director Jim Sheridan focuses on the father-son relationship, as well as the long-running appeal against their sentences, led by their determined solicitor (Emma Thompson).
