Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come marked the epochal cultural moment that first brought reggae to the international stage and made the late Jimmy Cliff a star. Now, 50 years later, the film is as electric as ever. In a Scarface-y blend of crime drama and music, we follow a country boy in search of fame as he journeys through Jamaica as a laborer, recording artist, convict, ganja dealer, and outlaw folk hero.
