This event is part of Escapes, which gives you the chance to get down to your local cinema for FREE!

Based on the extraordinary true story of British-Yemeni boxing legend Prince Naseem “Naz” Hamed and his transformative relationship with Irish trainer Brendan Ingle, GIANT charts an inspiring rags-to-riches rise from humble beginnings in Sheffield to global superstardom.

With his flamboyant style, supreme skill and fearless charisma, Naz became one of the most electrifying figures in world boxing, confronting the racism and islamophobia of 80s and 90s Britain while redefining the sport’s culture. The film explores the unlikely and deeply human bond between Naz and Ingle – a steelworker-turned-trainer whose modest church-hall gym produced a world champion.

Featuring exhilarating in-ring action and intimate character moments, GIANT is the untold story of the boy behind The Prince. Pierce Brosnan stars as Brendan Ingle, with Amir El-Masry as Naseem Hamed. Executive produced by Sylvester Stallone and written/directed by Rowan Athale (Gangs of London), this is a powerful, emotional big-screen story of identity, resilience and legacy.
