Perry Henzell’s Jamaican film adventure is an internationally lauded cult classic. The picture tells the story of Ivan, a country boy who dreams of fame as a singer. Riding into Kingston on a rickety country bus, he is soon met with disaster by those who falsely mask themselves as his friends. In a breathless climax, Ivan finally breaks from the fold, and begins to wreak his revenge. A fierce expression of a live wire Jamaican spirit, The Harder They Come tells the universal story of a people disenchanted with the world around them.
