An original Italian 2 Fogli poster for the 1987 film “A Prayer for the Dying” with artwork by the legendary Renato Casaro.   

A British thriller film about a former IRA member trying to escape his past. The film was directed by Mike Hodges, and stars Mickey Rourke, Liam Neeson, Bob Hoskins, and Alan Bates. The film is based on the 1973 Jack Higgins novel of the same name.

The film begins with an IRA team, including Martin Fallon (Mickey Rourke) and Liam Docherty (Liam Neeson), watching as two British Army Land Rovers approach a roadside bomb they have set for them. At the last minute, a school bus overtakes the army vehicles and detonates the bomb, killing the children.

The team scampers away, and Fallon travels to London to escape the past and decides never to kill anyone again. In London, he is approached by a contact to take on one last killing contract on behalf of local gangster cum funeral director Jack Meehan (Alan Bates).

"The movement wants his heart ... The mob wants his gun ... Martin Fallon wants his freedom"
