The story focuses on a peaceful Rastafarian fisherman who becomes an unwitting player in an international political scheme when a plane crashes into a nearby swamp. Later, when violence breaks loose, he displays an almost magical ability in hand-to-hand combat. .co.uk Review A contemporary Jamaican fable with a remarkable, out-of-nowhere hero, Countryman is the story of a Rastafarian fisherman, Countryman (credited to "Himself"), who rescues a marijuana-smuggling, American couple from an airplane crash. The good deed doesn't end there, however. An ambitious and power-hungry, emerging despot, Colonel Sinclair (Basil Keane), hypes the significance of the crash to impress political leaders, maintaining the smugglers are, in fact, enemy agents plotting against the government. Thus Countryman's new friends are in great danger, and he keeps them out of harm's way between smoking spliffs and putting up a preternaturally agile fight against Sinclair's weapons-wielding thugs. The film exudes an infectious, contact-high energy, and Countryman's gravity-defying stunts should please fans of similarly spectacular martial-arts movies such as Hero. The soundtrack to this 1982 movie features some of the greats of Jamaican reggae, including Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, and Steel Pulse. --Tom Keogh ## Images ![Countryman (Dickie Jobson) [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713D-1++TPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Country roads, take me home! *by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2007* One certainly wouldn't recommend this film for the plotline or, indeed for the acting, which is almost universally comically bad. This is a document of a place in time, Jamaica in the late seventies, politics, nature and culture all portrayed with stunning realism.The story follows 'Countryman' a simple rastafarian fisherman who rescues an American couple when their light plane crashes in a remote swamp. Facing an election, and with public opinion swinging against them, the government seizes on the incident as an opportunity to make political capital by portraying them as CIA agents smuggling weapons to opposition supporters. Somewhat oblivious to the politics, Countryman hides them and helps them escape their army pursuers.One might think the plot had been lifted straight out of 'Tarzan' if it weren't such a faithful reflection of the climate of political intrigue and violence that characterized the bloody struggle between the JLP and the PNP in late seventies Jamaica. In fact the involvement of the CIA, publicly denied by Kissinger at the time, has since been confirmed on the record by retired CIA operatives.Countryman (credited as 'himself') is superb, injecting some depth to his part which is conspicuously lacking among the other actors. However, it is the scenery and (some ghastly supernatural effects apart) the production that are the real stars. The atmosphere of rural Jamaica is caught as faithfully here as urban life is in 'The Harder They Come' and anyone who loves the country couldn't help but be deeply moved.The soundtrack too is awesome, right up there with THTC as one of the ultimate documents of authentic Jamaican reggae.So, cineasts need not apply. For lovers of Jamaica, five stars all the way. Irie. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Countryman *by K***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2009* This film is a Jamaican classic that is relatively unknown outside of the west indian community. It centres around the island of Jamaica's natural mystic 'countryman' a man who lives a simple life completely in tune with nature and his attempts to save two americans which the authorities wish to use as scapegoats in a political war. Set to a wonderful reggae soundtrack this movie is a very enjoyable adventure which is just as enjoyable today as it was back in 1983.Discover your new favourite movie today. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars exceptional man countryman *by J***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2014* rare type of film where the beauty of the simple life excels - Countryman is an exceptional person and the film is about himself - the story line is unimportant as the film portrays his simple life as art - don't worry about plot "but see how Countryman runs", a superb athlete, deep thinker and rasta - also meet obeah man Sadu Baba - love JamaicaAlso included is a short extra - interview with director Dickie Jobson / Chris Blackwell, and Michael Thomas from Rolling Stone mag. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53296510-countryman-dickie-jobson-dvd](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53296510-countryman-dickie-jobson-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
