Shergar - By: K. S. Rogers, 28 Feb 2003
Kevin Doherty (Tom Walsh), the orphaned son of a jockey, dreams of racing horses like his father, but instead finds himself in the middle of a terrorist plot to kidnap Shergar, Ireland's greatest racehorse. Terrorist Gavin O'Rourke (Mickey Rourke) & his second-in-command Dermot Concannon steal Shergar away to a remote farm owned by Eamonn Garrity (David Warner). Unknown to the kidnappers, teenage runaway Kevin lies in the hayloft of the Garrity farm & is aware of Shergar's identity. Though initiallly elated at being charged with the horse's keep, Kevin is horrified when he hears of Shergar's impending execution & resolved to ride the horse to freedom. Staying only steps ahead of the kidnappers & the authorities, Kevin alters the appearance of the instantly recognisable horse. Nice film.
