Watch The Firm
(1989)synopsis
In this film, we follow the story of two rival football supporter groups, known as "Firms," and how one man attempts to unite them for the 1988 European Championships. However, when the idea is proposed, the leaders of the opposing groups are resistant, viewing it as a threat to their power and control. The movie showcases the evolution of football violence from mindless brawling to an organized criminal enterprise, to the point where the leaders of the groups have each other's personal phone numbers.
