Son of Rambow

Synopsis

Great movies can be made by anyone - or so hope the heroes of Son of Rambow, a hugely likeable coming-of-age tale set in the Britain of the 1980s. Having heard about a competition that's being run for young film-makers, Lee is determined not just to take part, but to triumph. Despite always being in trouble at school, he's got plenty of ambition and sees his older brother's dodgy video equipment as the way to fulfil it . But his plans don't come alive until he meets Will, a shy kid whose religious parents won't let him watch movies at all. Together, the unlikely duo decide to make an action-packed sequel to the adventure movie Rambo (a huge hit in the 1980s) and the results paint paint a warm and funny picture of growing up and filmmaking.
