Presents
The Boxer
Plot:
Nineteen-year-old Danny Flynn is imprisoned for his involvement with the I.R.A.
in Belfast. He leaves behind his family and his sixteen-year-old girlfriend,
Maggie Hamill. Fourteen years later, Danny is released from prison and returns
to his old working class neighborhood to resume his life as a boxer, fighting
and opening a boxing club training aspiring boxers. Maggie has since married
Danny's best friend, who is also imprisoned for his I.R.A. activities. Although
he has not denounced the I.R.A. or denigrated his I.R.A. colleagues, Danny has
decided to live a life free of political violence. His boxing club is
nonsectarian, open to both Catholics and Protestants. This move irks some of his
old I.R.A. colleagues since they feel working with the Protestants will not
resolve their David versus Goliath struggle. Danny's old I.R.A. colleagues,
especially their unofficial leader Harry, resort to traditional tactics of
violence to stop Danny. Maggie's father, Joe, also an I.R.A. activist, does not
condone the violence against Danny as he is working through peaceful means to
free I.R.A. prisoners (including Maggie's husband), but also does not want
Maggie to resume her past relationship with Danny, a man who he sees as having
no future. Amidst this turmoil, Danny and Maggie dream of a life together, also
taking into account Maggie's wedded status and the feelings of her teen-aged
son, Liam. [Originally by: Huggo]
