The Devil's OwnThe Devil's Own is a 1997 movie starring Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford. Plot Brad Pitt plays an Irish man who is a member of the IRA (Irish Republican Army), while Harrison Ford plays the American man who agrees to host him in his home. Turmoil arises; however, Harrision Ford's character slowly discovers Brad Pitt's true identity. The movie ends with a surprise twist. Devil's Own, The THE DEVILS OWN, Alan J. Pakula's last film, is a character-driven thriller that confronts suspense and gritty realism head-on. Harrison Ford plays Tom O'Meara, an Irish-American cop in New York who opens his home and family to Francis Austin "Frankie" McGuire (Brad Pitt), whom they believe is a refuge-seeking immigrant from Belfast. They later discover that their visitor is an IRA rebel on a terrorist mission. Buoyed by tense, strong performances from both stars, the film is ultimately a tragedy that explores the unexpected friendship of two men of similar ethnic roots, yet of different places, times, and values, and the cruel and senseless cycle of violence they face.
