This is a gritty, groundbreaking and truly legendary film that tells the story of Ivan Martin (Jimmy Cliff) an inspiring young singer-turned-outlaw, at war with Jamaica's music industry, police, and his rivals in the ganja trade. His dreams of stardom become reality as he rises to the top of the charts...and the most wanted list.
With an unrivalled reggae soundtrack featuring such classic tracks as 'You Can Get It If You Really Want', 'Many Rivers To Cross' and 'Johnny Too Bad', The Harder They Come is the definitive Jamaican cult movie and a masterpeice of it's time.

I can finally retire my well worn 20 year old video of this movie having now picked up this reasonably priced DVD version. What's not to like about this movie, the soundtrack is suberb including a great visual clip of Toots and the Maytals at the time in the recording studio and a young Jimmy Cliff showing parts of Jamica that the tourist board would not like us to see. A great feel good movie,despite the tragic if totally predicable ending for our hero. Totally impossible to understand without the subtitles switched on but there are very few films that appear to have been shot on the streets as it was. A totally convincing glimpse from the great days of reggea. One of the best movie soundtracks of all time. Many rivers to cross.

A true reggae classic movie/soundtrack in every-way. Captures jamaica in a rough cut way. Town, country, church and dancehall. Its a pity the part two didn't make it.

How can you love cinema or Reggae and NOT have this DVD?
One of the greatest movies - gritty, sharp and very uncomfortable.
Jimmy Cliff is brilliant, the music is awesome and the way that Jamaica and the politics of the time are presented is painfully accurate.
A work of real genius.
