SynopsisIn 1788, the city of Edinburgh was rocked with the revelation that William Deacon Brodie, master cabinet maker and town councillor, had been found guilty of attempting to steal a fortune from the city's Customs and Excise offices.
Billy Connolly (Mrs. Brown, Indecent Proposal, Head of the Class) plays Brodie, whose short trial revealed a secret life of gambling, drinking, whoring and theft.The 'successful' son of a proud and established family, Brodie was sentenced to death.He was to be hanged ironically, on the very gallows that he himself had designed.
This compelling, Highland adventure is based on a true story.
