About:
'The Proposition' is a powerfully gripping story that tells of two brothers in conflict. It has attracted a stellar international cast including Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, Danny HustoN, John Hurt, David Wenham and Emily Watson. Set in the 1880�s, the film opens in the middle of a frenzied gunfight between the police and a gang of outlaws. Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) and his brother Mikey are captured by Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone). Together with their psychopathic brother Arthur (Danny Huston), they are wanted for a brutal crime. Stanley makes Charlie a seemingly impossible proposition in an attempt to bring an end to the cycle of bloody violence. Emily Watson plays Stanley�s wife Martha Stanley; John Hurt plays the bounty hunter Jellon Lamb and David Wenham plays Eden Fletcher, the powerful local landowner.
