IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER tells the true saga of Gerry Conlon. A petty thief in strife torn “70’s” Belfast. Gerry’s main interests are getting drunk and partying, much to the dismay of his quiet, frail father Guiseppe (Pete Postlethwaite). When Gerry angers the IRA, his father sends him to England, where his antics land him in the wrong place at the wrong time. Innocent, but forced to confess to a save terrorist bombing, he is sentenced to life imprisonment as one of the “Guildford Four”. An innocent Guiseppe is also arrested and jailed, and while behind bars, Gerry slowly learns that his father’s seeming weakness masks an unmatched inner strength and wisdom. Working with a fiercely dedicated lawyer (Thompson). Gerry is determined to prove his innocence, and clear his father’s name and expose the truth behind one of the most shameful events in recent history.
