# Plunkett & Macleane (1999)

1999 · 96 min · Comedy, Action · United Kingdom, United States


## Synopsis

Plunkett & Macleane is a 1999 British historical action comedy film directed by Jake Scott. It stars Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller and Liv Tyler. The film follows the story of Captain James Macleane (Miller) and Will Plunkett (Carlyle), two men in eighteenth century Britain who are both struggling to survive. The characters are loosely based on two genuine highwaymen of the eighteenth century, James MacLaine and William Plunkett, although the story bears little relation to their actual lives.
