The Boat That Rocked

It’s 1966 – British pop music’s finest era – and the BBC plays just two hours of rock’n’roll a week. A group of incensed disc jockeys decide to set up a pirate radio station so they can play their favourite music 24/7. And 25 million people – more than half the population of Britain – start tuning in to Radio Rock, broadcasting outside British territory from a boat floating on ethereal waves in the international waters of the North Sea. In serious breach of the law, the pirates are a thorn in the side of Minister Dormandy, who is bent on shutting them down.
