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.

Please note: all BFI London Film Festival screenings will start promptly at the advertised time, and play without ads or trailers.

Presented as part of the 70th BFI London Film Festival.
