'''''Fifty Dead Men Walking''''' is a 2008 film that is a loose adaptation of Martin McGartland's autobiography of the same name starring Jim Sturgess, [[Ben Kingsley]], [[Kevin Zegers]] and [[Rose McGowan]]. The title refers to the fifty lives that Martin claims to have saved as an informant for the British government against the Irish Republican Army, and was filmed on location in County Down in Northern Ireland. Despite winning the 2009 Genie Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, McGartland has disowned the film, stating it wanders too far from the truth.
