1990, 111 minutes, Rated R
Based on acclaimed writer William Mcllvanney's gritty novel, this compelling action drama delivers tense excitement, with knockout performances from a stellar cast headed by Oscar nominee Liam Neeson!
Small-town Scotsman Danny Soular (Neeson) has a rough-and-tumble reputation, having once landed in jail for assaulting a policeman. So when he loses his mining job, it seems unlikely that he'll be able to find respectable work. Desperate, he agrees to fight in a bare-knuckle brawl for money. But suddenly he's plunged into a world of danger... not only from the sport, but also from the vicious crime world behind it! Also starring Joanne Whalley-Kilmer and Billy Connolly, The Big Man is a story as taut and unflinching as its celebrated central fight scene, which many have called the greatest ever filmed.
