Description
In 1980s Britain, young Will Proudfoot (Bill Milner) is raised in isolation among The Brethren, a puritanical religious sect in which music and TV are strictly forbidden. When Will encounters his first movie, a pirated copy of Rambo: First Blood, his imagination is blown wide open. Now, Will sets out to join forces with the seemingly diabolical school bully (Will Poulter) to make their own action epic, devising wildly creative, on-the-fly stunts, not to mention equally elaborate schemes for creating a movie of total commitment and non-stop thrills while hiding out from The Brethren. Written and directed by Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), who captures the agony and the giddy ecstasy of a camcorder childhood with inventive humor, poignancy and a rousing dose of cinematic panache.
