The Harder They Come is a story of a country man, Ivanhoe Martin, who leaves the mountains to come to the city to make it as a reggae superstar. He finds that life in the city is hard and finds himself being the pawn of both the local record producer and the marijuana boss he works for later when his finances get tough.
The Harder They Come was Jamaica's first feature film and helped to make reggae music popular in the U.S.
