The Harder They Come

The Harder They Come

Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff stars as Ivan an aspiring young singer who leaves his rural village for the capital city of Kingston hoping to make a name for himself. Robbed of his money and possessions his first day in town, he records a song for an unscrupulous music mogul who exploits naïve hopefuls. When the song becomes a hit and he is not paid, the simple country boy turns outlaw; at war with both the police and rivals in the ganja trade while he rises to the top of the pop charts ...and the most-wanted lists. The SF Chronicle has identified that this film is second only to The Rocky Horror Picture Show in having the longest consecutive theatrical run in the U.S.
