The Strike [456708] Released: 1988-02-20 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 59 mins Popularity: 0.7008 Vote Average: 7 Vote Count: 3 Overview: Paul, a former miner, writes a hard-hitting screenplay about his own experiences of the 1984 miners' strike. However, the Hollywood production company that gets hold of his script turns it into a ludicrously sensationalist and anachronistic action film, starring Al Pacino as Arthur Scargill, and Meryl Streep as his wife.
