During the 1850s, American lawyer and journalist William Walker, along with his battalion of mercenaries, invades the Nicaragua and becomes the nation's self-proclaimed president. Ed Harris stars as a larger-than-life real-life figure, the 19th century adventurer William Walker, who was determined to bring American values to the rest of the world - even if it killed them.
WALKER is an incendiary and iconoclastic mash-up of period biopic and punk rock satire, inspired by spaghetti westerns and the delirious violence of Akira Kurosawa and Sam Peckinpah. Harris delivers an astonishing central performance, his icy demeanour somehow scarier and madder than the madness around him.
