Plot Summary

Fire in Babylon is the breathtaking tale of how the oppressed people of the West Indies fought back and triumphed over their colonial masters; through the remarkable achievements of one of sport's most iconic teams. In a turbulent area of apartheid South Africa, race riots in England and civil unrest in the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers, led by the enigmatic Viv Richards, struck a wonderfully defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice worldwide. Their undisputed skill, combined with a fearless spirit, allowed them to dominate the game at the highest level, replaying it on their own, terrifying terms. This is their story.

Absolutely marvellous and uplifting film. Great story, Great Characters and Inspiring telling of the Greatest Sports Team of the 80s!

Fire in Babylon , Watch and learn

I am a Somerset Man, I sat day upon day watching the greats in this film , Viv , Ian , Joel , . Man was I a lucky person . This movie shows All the greats of a special era and how they played..... But I am also old enough to remember watching "THE HARD MAN OF CRICKET" I know this only shows 30 second of him but watch out for BRIAN CLOSE . If you love Cricket Get this movie, if you don't love cricket buy this movie and learn . Forget your Jumped up footballers . Watch real men play a real mans sport.

Best doc. in years!

What a extraordinary doc.! The story of the West Indies cricketing legends but so much more than that. Lot's of context around the history/politics of the 70's/80's. Overall a really uplifting and entertaining story and a cracking soundtrack with reggae classics.
