Peter O'TooIe, Peter Ustinov and CyriI Cusack star in this saga of 1900s DubIin Iife, adapted from the noveIs of James PIunkett. 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 lreIand and became best-known for his role in the DubIin Lockout of 1913 after empIoyees were threatened with Iosing their jobs if they refused to sign a pledge not to join a union or engage in any sympathetic strikes. |
