GULLIVER RETURNS
90' - Ukraine - 2020 - Adventure / Comedy / Family
English
World traveler and adventurer Gulliver is invited to return to Lilliput, the town he previously saved from the enemy fleet of the neighboring Blefuscu.
When he arrives, he only finds indignation, panic and a hopeless crowd, as the King of Lilliput made his people believe that the legendary Giant Gulliver was returning. Instead, they discover an ordinary man, when the whole town had been getting ready and building accommodation to welcome a giant. Disappointed, the King orders Gulliver’s execution. Meanwhile, the invincible Blefuscu armada is at the gates of the city and threatening again.
Gulliver will prove that it is not necessary to be a giant to do great things, but that friendship and love can prevail… with a little bit of luck, a quirky mind and a disarming smile, a charismatic athletic body trained to be a master of swords…

In this fast-paced thriller, legendary director Brian De Palma (Mission: Impossible, Scarface, The Untouchables) weaves a multi-national tale about Christian (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), a Copenhagen police officer seeking justice for his partner’s murder by ISIS member Ezra Tarzi. In a world wracked by terror and suspicion, Christian and Alex (Carice van Houten), a fellow cop and his late partner’s mistress, embark on a mission to hunt Ezra down, but are unwittingly caught in a cat and mouse chase with a duplicitous CIA agent (Guy Pearce) who is using Ezra as a pawn to trap other ISIS members. Soon Christian and Alex are racing against the clock – not only seeking revenge, but to save their own lives. From the frosty cities of Scandinavia to the sun-drenched landscapes of Spain, De Palma sets up a spectacular battle of multiple opposing forces and leaves the audience breathless until the climactic moment when we learn who will be the last person to survive.

In the shadows of today’s America, a young veteran known as Jarhead Earl robs a gun shop to fund his entry fee into the Donnybrook, a legendary bare-knuckle brawl where the winner gets $100,000 and a new life – or so says the dream they’ve been sold. Jarhead, a man raised to use his fists, sees no way out for his poverty-stricken family unless he wins the fight, and so begins his dark journey through a troubled heartland. Standing in his way is the nihilistic Chainsaw Angus, who along with his sister, Delia, cooks and sells meth to any taker. They leave a trail of dead in their wake, which brings in Sheriff Whalen, a former addict looking to clean up the poison that has bled into his community. All paths lead to the barbaric Donnybrook, where only one man can win, but not without a price.
