The Rise (2012)

Emerging from the shadows of a bleak prison cell, Harvey Miller (Luke Treadaway), a young man bruised by life's harsh knocks, finds himself in the unflinching glare of a police interrogation room. Detective Inspector West (Timothy Spall), armed with an arsenal of incriminating eyewitness statements, is convinced of Harvey's involvement in a thwarted robbery and an ensuing assassination attempt on a local tycoon, Steven Roper. Harvey, however, remains steadfast in his denial, ready to unfurl his own narrative amidst the labyrinth of accusations. The story rewinds to his release from prison a mere month earlier, revealing the vile act of injustice that led to his confinement. His reunion with three comrades, bound by a fraternal loyalty, and his re-established bond with a jilted lover, who represents a flicker of hope in his scarred existence, paint a compelling backdrop to the narrative. The ingenious blueprint of the botched robbery, its unforeseen twist, and the shattering fallout drive the story forward, with vengeance pulsating at its core. This tale of Harvey's dogged pursuit of retribution against the local drug kingpin, the architect of his downfall, is woven with threads of loyalty, jealousy, friendship, and revenge. His audacious plan to recruit his unwavering friends for this daring heist risks everything, including the chance of rekindling the flame with his exasperated girlfriend. The Rise (2012) is a riveting, often humorous, exploration of the relentless quest for justice, retribution and the elusive dream of happiness. Amidst the turmoil, what unfolds is a testament to the human spirit's undying resilience and the lengths it will go to right a wrong.
