🎬 About the Movie
Based on the true story of Dublin crime boss Martin Cahill, The General directed by John Boorman, tells the tale of a man who became both a folk hero and a notorious outlaw. Known for his audacious robberies, sharp wit, and constant defiance of authority, Cahill’s life was as chaotic as it was compelling — a darkly comic reflection of Dublin’s underworld in the 1980s. Brendan Gleeson’s masterful portrayal earned him international acclaim, while the film itself remains a gritty, black-and-white classic of Irish cinema.
