Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis gives an impassioned performance in this riveting drama that mirrors one man's 15 year struggle and ultimate triumph over a terrible injustice.

In the Name of the Father tells the true saga of Gerry Conlon (Daniel Day-Lewis), a petty thief in strife-torn '70s Belfast. Is arrested for the 1974 bombing of a bar in Guildford, London that killed five people. On the basis of coerced confessions, he and other innocent bystanders are sentenced. In 1989 the convictions were overturned.
