Sinopsis: Legendario drama sobre pobreza y criminalidad, al que muchos señalan como el evento clave en el surgimiento y difusión de la música reggae. Ivan (Jimmy Cliff) es un jamaicano con aspiraciones musicales que llega sin un peso a la ciudad y debe sobrellevar la miseria y la tentación de la vida criminal, ante los abusos de los productores musicales y la policía.
Reggae star Jimmy Cliff is the principal reason that The Harder They Come was one of the first truly successful films to come out of Jamaica. Cliff plays a young would-be singer who finds the going rough when he hits the big city of Kingston. Jailed for participating in a knife fight, Cliff is exploited by a dishonest record-company executive upon his release. Turning his back on the establishment, Cliff becomes involved in the marijuana trade. He keeps the police at arm's length by offering them a slice of the action, but ultimately finds himself in the middle of a bloody raid. Cliff kills several cops and escapes, whereupon the duplicitous record exec releases Cliff's single "The Harder They Come," elevating the fugitive to the status of Folk Hero. The Harder they Come utilizes a take-no-prisoners approach to its material and presents an unadorned view of the seamier side of Jamaica life. The film resulted in an incredible upsurge in the popularity of Reggae music in America; among the highlights in its hit-after-hit score are "You Can Really Get It if You Want It," "Sitting in Limbo," "Johnny Too Bad" and the title song.
