Based on a true story of Shergar, Ireland's most decorated thoroughbread and perhaps the greatest race horse of all time who was kidnapped by IRA terrorists and held for $2 million ransom. Can a young stable boy save Shergar's life and his own before it's too late? An Epic tale set against the stunning Irish landscrape.

It's ok
I should have read what really happened to this horse before I bought the movie. I was looking for another story like "Secretariat" or "Dreamer" that's inspiring, uplifting--but if you're simply looking for a good "true story" without any expectations of a "happy ending," you might well enjoy this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and have watched it twice
I have a really soft spot for anything to do with horses. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and have watched it twice. The scenery in Ireland was beautiful and the acting was superb!!! I highly recommend it to any horse lovers out there. Thanks Amazon for making it available!!!

Shergar Misses the Jump
Shergar has the potential to intrigue and entertain but falls quite short of its potential. The film flips back and forth between overly-sentimental and down to earth. A combination of many of the cinematic elements lack cohesion, a real shame.Shergar touts Mickey Rourke as one of the cast. He plays the leader of an ultra violent splinter group of the I.R.A., and the mastermind of a prize horse kidnapping. He looked like he had suffered a plastic surgery botch job, and carted his tanning booth along during the filming of Shergar. To say the least, he was not a believable character.The other major downside of this film was the awful music which distracted from the film with a loud audio overlay sinking an otherwise okay film.Don't get me wrong, there are good points to this DVD. Ian Holmes, a very good actor, lights up his character with good cheer, and poetry. Once the boy escapes with the doomed horse, the story becomes interesting. Beautiful landscape and a great "tinker" character fill the second half of this film. There are some lovely scenes in the Irish countryside, and at a horse race held in Co. Clare. Shergar is a beautiful horse, as is My Lady. Shergar is a nice "horse film".

Shergar
This was a very good movie. I did not care so much for the violence, fortunately, it was kept down a bit, but overall, the movie was suspenseful, and the characters believable. I also appreciated that it was not obvious what direction the movie was going in its entirety. Just when I thought one thing was going to happen, something else happened instead. Love that kind of directing. Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie to others. It was entertaining.
