Product Information

Set in late 19th-century Pennsylvania, this gripping social drama tells the story of an undercover detective (Richard Harris) sent to a coal mining community to expose a secret society of Irish-American miners battling exploitation at the hand of the owners. Based on a true story, the film accurately portrays the rebellious leader of the Molly Maguires (Sean Connery), and his will to stop at nothing--even murder--to achieve social justice.

The Molly Maguires hit somewhat close to home for me
This was of particular interest to me since I was born and raised in Shenandoah, PA, the heart of the hard coal region. I visited Eckley when the movie was being filmed. I am Irish and my great grandfather,grandfather, and father were all miners in and around Shenandoah where one of the scenes in the movie takes place.

Top 20 Movie for me
If you want to see a piece of Penna history this movie is a must. Paramount came into Penna. and found one of the last remaining intact coal villages Eckley PA which is now a Penna Historial treasure. All the studio had to do was to build a coal breaker. This snap shot into the life of Irish immigrant miners is something that we should always be remembered. Vist Eckley PA you will be amazed.

Molly Maguires DVD
A good film worth seeing the injustice working people have endured by the owners who feel they have a right to own more than others.

Sean Connery is great, a real class act.
Historically not accurate. The life of a miner and family was VERY VERY poor. This was when unions were needed.

This is the true story of an underground organized group of miners in 1880's Pennsylvania coal mines who protest poor working conditions.
The story is a true representation of the time and place. Well done, with great actors. Product is in good condition.

True story
Not so great acting, but thankful they did a movie about the incredible injustice done to these Mine Workers. It's no wonder Unions were formed. The mine owners were incredibly inhumane.
