Harry Brown is a 2009 British vigilante action-thriller film directed by Daniel Barber and starring Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer, Jack O'Connell, and Liam Cunningham. The story follows Harry Brown, a widowed Royal Marines veteran who had served in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, living on a London housing estate that is rapidly descending into youth crime. After a violent gang murders his friend, Harry decides to take justice into his own hands.
The film also features actor and rapper Plan B who, with Chase & Status, is also responsible for the film's theme music track "End Credits."Harry Brown had its World Premiere as a "Special Presentation" at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival and was released theatrically in the United Kingdom by Lionsgate UK on 11 November 2009; the film was released in the United States by Samuel Goldwyn Films and Destination Films on 30 April 2010. The film was mainly shot on and around the mostly abandoned Heygate Estate in Walworth, London, which was, at the time of filming, due to be demolished in late 2010 (demolition was eventually delayed and did not take place until early 2014). The subway scenes were shot at Marks Gate, London.
