A strife-torn 1970s Belfast. When petty thief Gerry Conlon comes into conflict with the IRA, his father sends him to England. While there, as result of a coincidence, he gets falsely accused of organizing a savage terrorist bombing. Despite his innocence, he is forced to confess and gets sentenced to life imprisonment. In the meantime, his father Giuseppe is also arrested and jailed in the same facility. Together with a fiercely dedicated lawyer, both men take up the fight for freedom and to clear their name.
