"Peter O'Toole, Peter Ustinov and Cyril Cusack star in this saga of 1900s Dublin life, adapted from the novels of James Plunkett. Jim Larkin (O'Toole) arrives in Dublin during one of its most turbulent eras to organise the unions and get a fair deal for the working man in a time of widespread poverty and destitution. Larkin, nicknamed 'Big Jim', founded the Worker's Union of Ireland and became best-known for his role in the Dublin Lockout of 1913 after employees were threatened with losing their jobs if they refused to sign a pledge not to join a union or engage in any sympathetic strikes."
"Based on the books of James Plunkett, this stirring production based on a true story retells a dramatic period of Ireland's past. Set in and around the famous Dublin General Strike and Lockout of 1913, it takes us into the working class backstreets of Dublin as well as the drawing rooms of the privileged classes. When unionist Jim Larkin arrives to light the match of political revolution the lives of all Dubliners are changed forever."
"Recreates the era of the Dublin Lockout of 1913, one of the country's most famous and devastating labor uprisings, with a memorable cast of fictional characters from all walks of life and the real-life figure of Irish labor hero Jim Larkin."@en
