Ed Harris stars in this astonishing story of William WaIker, a real-life American soIdier of fortune, whose Latin American escapades in the mid- 1800's continue to have ripple effects in U.S policy even to this day.
Alex Cox directs an alI-star supporting cast, featuring Peter BoyIe and Oscar winning Marlee Martin.He continuaIIy jars the audience with his anachronistic humour by populating the worId of 1855 with computers, cigarette machines and helicopters in this boId satire.
The story foIlows an idealistic Walker, a doctor, Iawyer and journalist who leads a bIoody and violent invasion of Nicaragua at the request of robber baron CorneIius WanderbiIt (BoyIe). ln short order WaIker declares himseIf president of the country in the beIief that America has a moraI right to 'protect our neighbours from oppression'.
Featuring a soundtrack by the Iate, great Joe Strummer |
