The Railway Station Man is a 1992 British drama film directed by Michael Whyte, and starring Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland and John Lynch.
Northern Irishwoman Helen Cuffe (Julie Christie) has her life upturned when her husband is mistakenly killed by the Irish Republican Army.
Ten years later, we learn that she and her young son, Jack (Frank MacCusker), moved to a tiny town in Co Donegal to start life anew.
However, Jack has become involved with Manus Dempsey (Mark Tandy), organiser of a violent political group, who sees an opportunity to use the old engine shed at the disused station to store explosives.
[4][5] Ray Loynd of the Los Angeles Times praised the "depiction of the beautiful, foggy, damp Irish west coast" but was otherwise critical of the film.
