"With its rugged landscapes, handsome production design and, especially, the very appealing work of leads Peter Mullen and Jack Lowden, Tommy's Honour is an ingratiating production all-round." – Godfrey Cheshire, RogerEbert.com
TOMMY’S HONOUR is based on the powerfully moving true story of the challenging relationship between "Old" Tom and "Young" Tommy Morris, the dynamic father-son team who ushered in the modern game of golf. As their fame grew, Tom and Tommy, Scotland’s Golf Royalty, were touched by drama and personal tragedy. At first matching his father’s success, Tommy’s talent and fame grew to outshine his father’s accomplishments and respect as founder of the Open Championship in 1860 with a series of his own triumphs. But in contrast to Tommy’s public persona, his personal turmoil ultimately led him to rebel against both the aristocracy who gave him opportunity and the parents who shunned his passionate relationship with his wife.
Directed by Jason Connery, the film stars Peter Mullan (War Horse), Jack Lowden ('71), Ophelia Lovibond (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park).
