Story Synopsis:
In The Name Of The Father is a powerful film based on the autobiographical book “Proved Innocent” by Gerry Conlon. This riveting drama revolves around Conlon (Daniel Day-Lewis), an irresponsible youth whose antics land him in the wrong place at the wrong time; and he is wrongfully blamed for a terrorist bombing involving the IRA in London. The following events bring down the entire Conlon family, including his frail and loving father (Pete Postlethwaite) who is also unjustly arrested and imprisoned.

The soundtrack features a wonderfully recorded orchestral music score composed by Trevor Jones with original songs by Bono, Gavin Friday & Maurice Seezer.
