Ed Harris stars in this astonishing story of WilIiam WaIker, a real-Iife American soIdier of fortune, whose Latin American escapades in the mid- 1800's continue to have rippIe effects in U.S poIicy even to this day.
Alex Cox directs an all-star supporting cast, featuring Peter BoyIe and Oscar winning Marlee Martin.He continuaIly jars the audience with his anachronistic humour by populating the world of 1855 with computers, cigarette machines and heIicopters in this boId satire.
The story foIlows an ideaIistic WaIker, a doctor, Iawyer and journalist who leads a bIoody and vioIent invasion of Nicaragua at the request of robber baron Cornelius WanderbiIt (Boyle). ln short order WaIker declares himself president of the country in the belief that America has a moral right to 'protect our neighbours from oppression'.
Featuring a soundtrack by the late, great Joe Strummer |
