Young Belfastian Gerry Conlon admits that he was in London at the time of the incident. He also admits that he is not a model citizen, having committed a petty robbery while in London. He does however profess his innocence when it comes to the bombing of the Guildford Pub in London in 1974, the event which killed several people inside. A self-professed non-political person, he and his three co-accused, dubbed the Guildford Four, are thought to be provisional members of the IRA. Their self-professed innocence is despite each having signed a statement of guilt which they claim were signed under duress. Their case includes having provable alibis for the time frame of the bombing. And eventually, Joe McAndrew, a known IRA member, admits to the bombing. Dubbed the Maguire Seven, seven others, primarily members of Gerry's extended family including his father Giuseppe, are accused of being accessories to the bombing. Following on the work initiated by Giuseppe, Gerry works on a campaign to ...

I liked this movie. It was a very hard beginning with bombings and arrests but otherwise, it turned out spectacular. I'm still laughing at a moment in the video "Top 10 Daniel Day-Lewis performances" where a woman's voice said "And we ride the roller coaster with him." - @Sunday, April 3, 2016 5:30 PM

If only Sheridan had made this film for that purpose. He made it as an attack upon the english and to promote the IRA as a defensive organisation. Not once in this film do we see any of the victims of the IRA. Given the fact that this film is about the state's response to IRA violence that is some acheivement! - @Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:36 AM

Roxanne Prefontaine

This wasn't about being anti-English. This was about a law passed in the name of Terrorism, that was abused. It is about how people in power abuse that power supposedly in the name of justice. How fear pushes people to do things that they may not normally do and how the general public will approve of their behavior to satisfy their fear. This is what could happen in America if we aren't careful. Our Freedoms will be taken away in the name of Terrorism, if we aren't careful. - @Saturday, April 20, 2013 3:17 AM

You can tell from the comments underneath the effect this film has on people and the effect it's supposed to have. If Sheridan was going to make a piece of anti-english propaganda then he could at least have chosen some other aspect of Irish history. To attack the British for how they responded to IRA terror is well below the belt! - @Tuesday, April 16, 2013 1:05 PM

It’s bizarre that you condemn people for actually reading up on something before commenting on it. If reading and understanding history is 'plagiarizing' then how should we understand the past and conflicts today? You certainly don’t base your views on any historical knowledge, you've proven that with the idiocy and inaccuracy of your statements. I know this is pointless, but understanding is surely preferable to blind hatred and bigotry? To which you will reply, 'douche bag' blah blah - @Saturday, April 6, 2013 3:44 PM

griffshanks

I said YOU have no historical knowledge.You seem unable to understand anything that is said to you, your only response is abuse. And I'm not insulting Americans, I'm saying that's it ridiculous to lambast one set of people for ancient atrocities if your own country has also been guilty of similar crimes. If you aint American you are from Britain,Oz,NZ,Canada or Western Europe,(that much is clear from your language) to all of which the same argument applies to.Stop being such a childish arsehole. - @Saturday, April 6, 2013 3:27 PM

griffshanks

So the man who has no historical knowledge and has to resort to name calling and bigotry is accusing others of being thick over a clear typo?American I presume? Well I dont judge an entire people by the actions of their government's,but by your logic if the English are in hell for the disgraceful treatment of the Irish then you'll be sitting next to them paying for the theft of 1/2 an entire continent and the massacre of its natives.Sit comfy there, 5000 miles away from the hatred you encourage. - @Tuesday, March 26, 2013 1:00 PM

Well thats mature isnt it, thats the best you can do is it? And please, dont use text speak like a fucking 12 year old.You've no knowledge or understanding of the tension in these islands that continue to ruin peoples lives beyond the petty bigotry you revel in.I mean 'You don't know when the first invasion of Ireland was as you weren't there', 'A working class does not exist in England' - thats just fucking embarrasing.Look at your own countrys history of rapine and land grabbing,idiot. - @Saturday, March 23, 2013 1:34 PM

Are the English actors in the film bastards? How about the defence team who fought for Gerry, are they bastards? How about the councillors in Liverpool and Manchester who allowed them to film there, are they bastards? What about the myriad of English who have never had anything to do with Ireland, are they all bastards? What about the English people of Irish blood? I understand why someone in Ulster would resent the british state but you need to separate the establishment from the people. - @Friday, March 22, 2013 5:35 PM

griffshanks

What incisive insight. So the 'Enlgish' have been bastards to the irish for 'thousands of years' have they? The first 'English' invasion of Ireland came in the 1100's and was actually conducted by a french noble leading a welsh army.'When you say 'English' what you really mean is 'aristocracy' or 'establishment', not the average working class Englishman. Maybe you should make that differentiation, otherwise you just sound like a bigotted naive twat. - @Friday, March 22, 2013 5:27 PM
