A hilariously fresh and visually
inventive take on friendship, family, film heroes and the
death-defying adventures of growing up in the video age. In 1980s
Britain, young Will Proudfoot, raised in isolation among The
Brethren, a puritanical religious sect in which music and TV are
strictly forbidden, encounters something beyond his wildest
fantasies: a pirated copy of Rambo First Blood. His virgin
viewing of the iconic thriller blows his mind – and rapidly
expanding imagination – wide open. Now, Will sets out to
join forces with the seemingly diabolical school bully, Lee
Carter, 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.
