Synopsis – What to Expect from “Michael Collins”
Michael Collins is a 1996 biographical historical drama film directed by Neil Jordan and starring Liam Neeson as Michael Collins, the Irish patriot and revolutionary who was a key figure in the early-20th century Irish struggle for independence.
The film begins with Collins’ childhood in the early 1900s in rural Ireland. His father, a staunch nationalist, instills in him a deep sense of patriotism. As a young man, Collins joins the Irish Republican Brotherhood and becomes a leader in the fight for independence from Britain. He is sent to London to negotiate with the British government, but his efforts are unsuccessful.
In 1916, Collins organizes a military uprising against the British. The Easter Rising is crushed, and Collins is arrested and sentenced to death. However, due to public outcry, his sentence is commuted to life in prison. After two years, he is released and rejoins the Irish struggle for independence.
In 1921, the British government agrees to a truce and a treaty is signed. Collins is appointed Chairman of the Provisional Government and leads the Irish delegation in the negotiations. He is widely hailed as a hero, but the treaty is deeply unpopular with hardliners who want a complete break from Britain.
As the Irish Civil War looms, Collins is caught in a difficult situation. He is determined to keep the peace, but his enemies are determined to destroy him. In the end, he is assassinated by his former comrades.
