"Harry Brown marks the feature film debut for talented upcoming director Daniel Barber, Academy Award®-nominated in 2008 for his short film The Tonto Woman. The film is an urban western set in modern-day Britain which follows one man's journey through a chaotic world where drugs are the currency of the day and guns run the streets. It has been awarded £1 million from the Premiere Fund. A modest law-abiding citizen, Harry Brown is a retired Marine and a widower who lives alone, with only his best friend Leonard for company. When Leonard is brutally murdered by a vicious gang of thugs, Harry... feels compelled to act and is forced to dispense his own brand of justice. Academy Award® winner Sir Michael Caine is joined by Emily Mortimer , Charlie Creed-Miles , and Liam Cunningham , with support from a group of up-and-coming British talent including Ben Drew aka Plan B , Jack O'Connell , Lee Oakes , Joseph Gilgun , Sean Harris , David Bradley and Iain Glen ."
