Plot Summary
Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt star in this harrowing thriller about an IRA gunman who draws an American family into the crossfire of terrorism. Frankie McGuire (Pitt) is one of the IRA's deadliest assassins. But when he is sent to the U.S. to buy weapons, Frankie is housed with the family of Tom O'Meara (Ford), a New York cop who knows nothing about Frankie's real identity.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Though Hour 2's heavy emphasis on physical and emotional confrontations stimulates dramatic momentum, this respectable superstar meeting is finally, of all things, ordinary.
Customer Reviews
The Devil's Own
An awesome movie. Seen it dozens of times since I was a kid. Now, understanding the nationalism and Irish terrorism from politics classes, the movie is all the more awesome. Great performance by Ford and Pitt.
