Ironweed (1987) Original US One Sheet Movie Poster

Original US One Sheet movie poster for Ironweed (1987), the American drama directed by Hector Babenco and starring Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Carroll Baker and Michael O'Keefe.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by William Kennedy, Ironweed follows Francis Phelan (Jack Nicholson), a homeless former baseball player who returns to Albany, New York, during the Great Depression. Haunted by memories of his past and the accidental death of his infant son, Francis reconnects with his longtime companion Helen Archer (Meryl Streep) as they struggle with poverty, alcoholism and personal regret.

A powerful and emotionally demanding drama, Ironweed explores themes of guilt, redemption and the lives of those marginalised by society. Nicholson and Streep both received Academy Award nominations for their performances, while the film remains a notable example of serious, character-driven American cinema of the late 1980s.

The original US theatrical poster features atmospheric artwork by acclaimed illustrator  John Alvin, whose distinctive designs appeared on numerous major Hollywood releases. The understated composition, featuring the two central characters in a close embrace, reflects the film's sombre tone and emotional intensity.

This is a genuine theatrical-release poster, not a reproduction.
