In The Name of the Father (1993)

In the Name of the Father is based on the true story of the Guildford Four, four people falsely accused of a pub bombing in 1974, and the 1991 book by Gerry Conlon, Proved Innocent: The Story of Gerry Conlon of the Guildford Four.

Directed by Jim Sheridan, the film stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Emma Thompson and Pete Postlethwaite. The film was a box office hit in Ireland and did well with critics. It was nominated for seven Oscars and won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. However, its release was met with some controversy due to historical inaccuracy and fictionalization. It is available to stream here.
