Simultaneously gripping, unflinching, and ultimately inspiring drama about Irishman Gerry Conlon (Day-Lewis) and his father (Postlethwaite) who were unjustly convicted of a terrorist bombing in 1970s England. A compassionate lawyer (Thompson) fights to clear their name in this true life story. Daniel Day-Lewis and Pete Postlethwaite are excellent as a deeply fractured son-and-father that must survive incarceration together and achieve true justice.
