About A Hole in Babylon
Three black men rob a Knightsbridge Italian restaurant. But when the police are called and the robbery becomes a siege, the men find themselves in a situation out of their control.
Directed by Horace Ové, A Hole in Babylon leans on a strong ensemble — T-Bone Wilson, Trevor Thomas, Archie Pool — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1979.
