Summary of Fifty Dead Men Walking
Inspired by the remarkable true story of the British undercover agent who successfully infiltrated the IRA, writer/director Kari Skogland's fact-based thriller takes it's title from author Martin McGartland's best-selling novel of the same name. Set at the absolute height of the Irish civil conflict, Fifty Dead Men Walking begins as twenty-two year old Martin McGarland is recruited by the British police to infiltrate the IRA and report back with intelligence. It's an extremely dangerous job that could result in death or worse should his true identity be revealed, yet McGartland realizes that the information he's gathering will save countless lives. At first the prospect of being discovered provided something of a rush for McGartland, though that initial buzz quickly wears off when his true identity is revealed and he's forced to attempt an impossible escape. Two decades later, McGartland is still on the run. Sir Ben Kingsley, Jim Sturgess, and Rose McGowan star.
