- Synopsis:
- Ed Harris stars in this astonishing story of William Walker, a real-life American soldier of fortune, whose Latin American escapades in the mid-1800's continue to have ripple effects in U.S policy even to this day. The story follows an idealistic Walker (Ed Harris), a doctor, lawyer and journalist who leads a bloody and violent invasion of Nicaragua at the request of robber baron Cornelius Wanderbilt (Peyer Boyle). In short order Walker declares himself president of the country in the belief that America has a moral right to "protect our neighbours from oppression".
