About us
Dir. Bill Forsyth, UK, 1983, 111 mins. Cast. Burt Lancaster, Peter Riegert, Fulton Mackay.
Bill Forsyth's timeless, emotionally stirring fish-out-of-water comedy follows the placement of American oil company representative Mac in a remote Scottish village. He has been sent to Scotland to buy up an entire village for the site of a new refinery. There, he finds cheerful future millionaires, awesome Northern Lights, a lusty innkeeper, a stubborn beachcomber and a mermaid with webbed toes.
Forsyth's touch is perfect: whether showing us a tycoon (Lancaster) with his head in the stars or bridging generations at an all-night ceilidh dance, Local Hero is filled with warmth, wit and eccentricity - ready to be discovered anew on the big screen.
Featuring Mark Knopfler's iconic soundtrack, this beloved, life-affirming classic returns to the big screen in celebration of its 40th anniversary.
