This popular Alan Parker film stars an ensemble of unknown actors and musicians. Slick young Dubliner Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins) puts together a soul band made up of Dublin's out-of-work misfits. Starting from scratch, the group members re-discover a sense of pride as they master the discipline necessary to make music. An ageing trumpet player, who claims to have worked with all the greats, takes charge of their musical education, but internal feuds and the realities of modern life threaten to overwhelm the band.
