Local Hero Poster
CAST: Burt Lancaster, Peter Capaldi, Peter Riegert
DIRECTOR: Bill Forsyth
RUN TIME: 1 hour 52 minutes
RELEASE DATE: 10/08/2021

Bill Forsyth put Scottish cinema on the map with this delightfully eccentric culture-clash comedy. Riffing on popular representations of Scottish life and folklore, Local Hero follows the Texas oil executive Mac (Peter Riegert), who is dispatched by his crackpot boss (Burt Lancaster) to a remote seaside village in Scotland. Packed with a near nonstop stream of droll one-liners and deadpan gags, this enchanting cult hit finds Forsyth surveying the idiosyncrasies of small-town life with the satirical verve of a latter-day Preston Sturges, arriving at a sly commentary on conservation, corporate greed, and the legacies we leave behind.

Join us at Showcase Cinemas for our Flashback screening of the original 1983 film this summer.
