Sinopsis(1)
Cliff plays Ivan Martin, a poor country boy who goes to the city to make money, becoming a street rebel and a pop idol overnight. In Kingston, Ivan finds nothing but corruption. The record company offers him a mere $20 to release his single, "The Harder They Come." Ivan takes to the streets, where he is ensnared by crime. After brutally knifing a man, he serves a prison sentence. Once free, he supports himself by selling marijuana, protecting himself from legal persecution by giving the cops a cut. But that doesn't keep him from getting mixed up in a police raid. Ivan quickly develops a reputation as a Kingston criminal, and when his single "The Harder They Come" is finally released, it fuels his bad-boy notoriety, culminating in a tragic conclusion.

My first Jamaican movie and I think it will also be the last for a long time. Not that I didn't like it, but I don't really seek out this genre. And let's be honest, this film is great in one crucial aspect - its music. It plays a fundamental role here and can easily distract you from the plot, which you won't remember much afterwards.
