Abstract

The Outsider is a 1980 film thriller set largely in Belfast during The Irish Troubles (1968-1998). The film is based on the book The Heritage of Michael Flaherty by Colin Leinster, and details the fictional experience of an idealistic Irish-American who travels to Ireland and joins the IRA in the 1970s. Initially inspired by his Irish brothers, Flaherty awakens to violence, terror, and horror of war and realizes how he serves a political propaganda purpose for the IRA.
