The Molly Maguires (trailer)

Set in late 19th-century Pennsylvania, this gripping social drama tells the story of an undercover Pinkerton detective sent to a coal mining community to expose a secret society of Irish-American miners battling exploitation at the hand of the owners.

The group supposedly used terrorist tactics, including dynamiting trains and supplies of coal, to win better working conditions and wages for the oppressed miners.

Based on a true story of the workers' struggle that took place in 1876, the film accurately portrays the rebellious leader of the Molly Maguires, and he will stop at nothing--even murder--to achieve social justice.

@TheKenfig The Hill is a cracking film showing Connery's ability outside the Bond franchise.

@bobgrantsbus Got it on dvd ; top movie never on telly these days. Another favourite with Connery in is The Hill (1965). Good actor aside from Bond films. Oh, and The Man Who Would Be King

@br4563rt3ed Bar in Houston, Texas also. 15945 Kuykendahl, Houston, TX Molly Maguires is a great little hangout. There's pool, ping-pong, and darts, a good selection of beer, and a decent jukebox.

My grandfathers worked in the mines in the same area. They were not Irish, but my sympathy goes to the Molly Maguires.
