The Devil's Own is a 1997 movie directed by Alan J. Pakula. It was the last film he directed before his untimely death in a car accident in 1998.
Frankie McGuire is a young Irishman committed to the struggle against the British, who comes to the U.S. on a secret mission.
He seeks refuge in the U.S. masquerading as Rory Devaney, moving into the suburban Staten Island home of New York Police Sergeant Tom O'Meara and his wife, Sheila, who know nothing about Rory's past.
The tough, principled cop begins to enjoy the charismatic young émigré, who sees in Tom the father figure he lacks.
When violence is unforgivably visited on Tom's home and family, he begins to suspect Rory is somehow involved.
Tom finally discovers the truth about Rory, and now it is Tom who is on a mission - a pursuit not only to bring a criminal to justice, but to save his friend's life.
Tagline: One man trapped by destiny, and another bound by duty. They're about to discover what they're willing to fight, and to die for.
