Portman Road and other Ipswich locations form the backdrop for a new action film, One Ranger.

The Jesse V Johnson-written and directed movie sees a Texas Ranger team up with British special agents as they seek to thwart a terrorist from launching an attack in London.

In addition to Portman Road, Suffolk County Council’s Endeavour House and sites on the Waterfront also feature, the cast and crew having been in town for filming in February and March last year.

Thomas Jane plays the eponymous role, while John Malkovich also features along with Dominique Tipper and Dean Jagger. One Ranger is released on May 5th.

The 1979 movie Yesterday's Hero, starring Ian McShane, and the 2006's Rabbit Fever both featured scenes filmed inside Portman Road.

Rozeeboy74 added 09:10 - Mar 28 Storyline probably makes out the stadium is in London. Americans don't understand that there is a world outside the capital.

itfchorry added 19:06 - Mar 29 I was at Portman Road, when they filmed Yesterday's Hero - Now don't get me wrong, because I love Lovejoy ! But he couldn't hit a barn door as a footballer. I remember Colin Harper, the late Town full back having to almost widen the Goal for Mr McShane 🤣
