Danny Boyle brings a seismic moment in Rupert Murdoch’s Fleet Street career blazingly to life, employing the breathtaking style of a story torn from the headlines.
In 1969, Rupert Murdoch acquired British tabloid The Sun, hiring gifted editor Larry Lamb to change the paper’s fortunes. Out of this devil’s pact, British journalism and society was forever changed.
Boyle’s kinetic cinematic energy is matched by Guy Pearce and Jack O’Connell’s muscular performances as the men who exploded Fleet Street, British mores and political fortunes.
