The Boxer is a 1997 drama film directed by Jim Sheridan and starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Danny Flynn, a former boxer who returns to Belfast after serving a 14-year prison sentence for his involvement in the Irish Republican Army.
Danny returns to his old neighborhood in Belfast, determined to make a fresh start and to stay away from the troubles of his past. He reopens his father’s boxing gym, and begins training a group of young boxers, including a young Protestant boy named Maggie.
However, Danny’s past catches up with him when he is approached by an old friend, Harry, who is now a member of the IRA. Harry wants Danny to join the IRA and fight for the cause, but Danny refuses. He is determined to stay away from the violence and to make a new life for himself.
Meanwhile, Danny falls in love with Maggie’s sister, Maggie, and the two soon become romantically involved. But their relationship is threatened when Maggie’s father finds out that Danny was once a member of the IRA. He forbids Maggie from seeing Danny, and the two are forced to keep their relationship a secret.
As tensions between the IRA and the British Army escalate, Danny is caught in the middle. He must choose between his love for Maggie and his loyalty to his old friend Harry. In the end, Danny must decide if he will fight for the cause of freedom and justice, or if he will stay true to his own ideals and
