Story of Michael Collins and his involvement in the events sparked off by the 1916 Easter Rising, leading to the Irish Treaty and subsequent Civil War in which he was shot dead. Liam Neeson in the lead role, also starring Stephen Rea, Aidan Quinn and Julia Roberts. In this milestone of filmmaking in Ireland, Neil Jordan has compellingly brought to life the events and personalities of an important and tragic stage in Irish history. Includes a remarkable and convincing recreation of the Dublin of the time, made using a giant set and an army of extras.
