Based on the true story and life of Charles Bronson, Britains most violent prisoner, Tom Hardys (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises) performance is incomparable. Hardy plays Bronson with disturbing accuracy. With an intelligent, provocative and stylised approach, Bronson follows the metamorphosis of Mickey Peterson into Britain's most dangerous prisoner, Charles Bronson. Other familiar faces include Amanda Burton (Silent Witness, Waterloo Road) and James Lance (Marie Antionette, Bel Ami).
