In the Name of the Father

Filmmaker Jim Sheridan tells a timely and emotionally riveting true story, examining how the desire to convict terrorists can, in turn, lead to a perversion of justice. Daniel Day-Lewis stars as a petty thief, who in 1975 was convicted of bombing an English pub. Years later, when a crusading attorney (Emma Thompson) makes a startling discovery, the truth comes to light. Oscar® nominations for Best Picture, Director, Actor and Supporting Actor (Day-Lewis and Pete Postlethwaite), Supporting Actress (Thompson), Editing and Screenplay.
