Michael Collins

Michael Collins, the man and the movie, stands tall. The man is a hero whose fighting tactics became a model for other 20th Century struggles, a statesman who negotiated Ireland's break with England, a political martyr slain for the great cause he lived and breathed.

Michael Collins roils with the passions of war furiously waged and peace desperately sought.

Liam Neeson (winner of a Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award) plays the title role. Aidan Quinn, Stephen Rea, Alan Rickman and Julia Roberts also deliver vivid performances. They, along with director Neil Jordan and a superb behind-the-cameras team make Michael Collins a man and a movie you won't soon forget.
