The Big Man plot

"Nothing hits as hard as the things that are really worth fighting for..."

Since unemployed Scottish miner Danny Scoular (Neeson) is unable to get a job because he has been involved in some fights in the past, his wife Beth (Whalley) earns a living. To restore his wounded pride, he succumbs when he is invited to participate in lucrative, illegal boxing matches, without gloves.
