In explosive colors, Danny Boyle (›Slumdog Millionaire‹) chronicles a dramatic turning point in the history of British media that continues to shape our everyday lives.

London, 1969. Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch (Guy Pearce) enters the British newspaper market. He buys the struggling tabloid “The Sun” and hands the reins to the ambitious editor Larry Lamb (Jack O’Connell), who outdoes his publisher in greed and lust for power. The two ruthless men, initially dismissed by the status quo for their shameless sensationalism, go on to transform the British press forever.

This acclaimed media thriller traces the origins of our current media landscape, from Murdoch’s own Fox News to TikTok.

Director

Danny Boyle is one of the most distinctive directors of British postmodern cinema. From ›Trainspotting‹ and ›The Beach‹ to the zombie nightmare ›28 Days Later‹, his highly stylized, pop-infused films have consistently tapped into the controversies of their time – and occasionally sparked some new ones as well.
