DEVIL’S OWN

Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt in movie on MNet Action.

On January 10 at 21h00, MNet Action will screen the movie Devil’s Own starring Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt and directed in 1997 by Alan J Pakula.

The strength of a young Irishman's convictions brings him into conflict with his unsuspecting host and draws them both into danger.

Brad Pitt stars as Frankie McGuire, a young Irishman committed to the struggle against the British, who comes to the US on a secret mission. He seeks refuge in the US masquerading as Rory Devaney, moving into the suburban Staten Island home of New York Police Sergeant Tom O’Meara (Harrison Ford) and his wife, Sheila (Margaret Colin) who knows nothing about Rory’s past.

The tough, principled cop begins to enjoy the charismatic young immigrant, who sees in Tom the father figure he lacks. When violence is unforgivably visited on Tom’s home and family, he begins to suspect Rory is somehow involved. Tom finally discovers the truth about Rory, and now it is Tom who is on a mission - a pursuit not only to bring a criminal to justice, but to save his friend’s life.
