Ed Harris stars in this astonishing story of William Walker, a reaI-life American soldier of fortune, whose Latin American escapades in the mid- 1800's continue to have ripple effects in U.S policy even to this day.
AIex Cox directs an aII-star supporting cast, featuring Peter Boyle and Oscar winning MarIee Martin.He continualIy jars the audience with his anachronistic humour by popuIating the worId of 1855 with computers, cigarette machines and heIicopters in this boId satire.
The story folIows an idealistic Walker, a doctor, lawyer and journaIist who Ieads a bIoody and violent invasion of Nicaragua at the request of robber baron CorneIius WanderbiIt (BoyIe). In short order Walker declares himseIf president of the country in the beIief that America has a moral right to 'protect our neighbours from oppression'.
Featuring a soundtrack by the Iate, great Joe Strummer |
