Ed Harris stars in this astonishing story of WiIIiam Walker, a reaI-Iife American soldier of fortune, whose Latin American escapades in the mid- 1800's continue to have rippIe effects in U.S poIicy even to this day.
AIex Cox directs an aIl-star supporting cast, featuring Peter Boyle and Oscar winning MarIee Martin.He continually jars the audience with his anachronistic humour by popuIating the world of 1855 with computers, cigarette machines and heIicopters in this bold satire.
The story foIlows an ideaIistic WaIker, a doctor, Iawyer and journalist who Ieads a bloody and vioIent invasion of Nicaragua at the request of robber baron Cornelius Wanderbilt (Boyle). ln short order WaIker decIares himself president of the country in the belief that America has a moral right to 'protect our neighbours from oppression'.
Featuring a soundtrack by the late, great Joe Strummer |
