İrlanda'lı yönetmen Jim Sheridan ve İngiliz oyuncu Daniel Day-Lewis, 'Sol Ayağım' ve 'Babam İçin' filmlerinden sonra, İrlanda'lı bir orta siklet boksörün yaşamını anlatan 'Boksör' için yeniden biraradalar. Filmde, gençliğinde geleceği parlak bir boksörken IRA ile bağlantısı olduğu anlaşılan ve bu yüzden 14 yıl ingiliz hapishanelerinde yatan Danny Boy Flynn'ın, tekrar ringlere dönmesini ve art arda aldığı galibiyetlerle kuşatma altındaki Belfast kentine umut aşılamasını seyrediyoruz. Sheridan filme başlamadan önce Martin Scorsese'nin 'Kızgın Boğa'sını defalarca izlemiş. Daniel Day Lewis ise üç yıl boyunca boks dersleri aldığı için rolünü büyük bir başarıyla oynamış.

In 1904, in Dublin, James Joyce chats up Nora Barnacle, a hotel maid recently come from Galway. She enchants him with her frank, direct and uninhibited manner, and before long, he's convinced her to come with him to Trieste, where he has a job with Berlitz. Over time, Nora pulls him through phobias, tolerates his drinking, takes in his brother Stan, and bests Joyce at 'the writin' game' to bring him back to Italy from Dublin where he's gone to open a cinema. But his sexual jealousy threatens the relationship and sends her back to Galway with the children. Is there any way to tame Jim's green-eyed monster? And, will the lad ever get his stories published?
