Sheridan has continued to work in Ireland, writing the screenplay for Mike Newell's "Into the West" (1992), a delicate yet rousing "fairy tale" about two gypsy children who go on the lam with a possibly mystical white horse. He reteamed with Day-Lewis for "In the Name of the Father" (1993) to tell the story of Gerry Conlon. Conlon was thought to be the leader of the Guilford Four, a group wrongly prosecuted and imprisoned for 15 years for an IRA bombing. The film elicited condemnation in Great Britain where Sheridan, Day-Lewis and co-star Emma Thompson were accused of making an anti-English film. By contrast, it received glowing notices in the US where some critics likened the pairing of Sheridan and Day-Lewis to that of Scorsese and De Niro.
