In the Name of the Father

"In the Name of the Father" tells the compelling true story of Gerry Conlon, a small-time thief from Belfast who is wrongfully convicted alongside his father Giuseppe and friends for an IRA bombing in London. Over 15 years in prison, Gerry fights against injustice and battles to prove his innocence. The film powerfully explores themes of family, injustice, and resilience. Trivia: 1) Daniel Day-Lewis, known for his extreme method acting, stayed in character off-set as Gerry Conlon, even adopting his accent and mannerisms throughout filming. 2) Pete Postlethwaite, who played Giuseppe Conlon, was actually an English actor but convincingly adopted an Irish accent that earned critical praise. 3) The film was partly shot on location in Belfast, adding authenticity to the portrayal of Gerry's turbulent background.
