Inspired by Sly Stallone's heroics in First Blood, religious misfit Will and school tearaway Lee join creative forces to make the sequel and win the BBC’s young filmmakers competition. But as word of their zero-budget blockbuster spreads, the production spirals out of control. Writer-director Garth Jennings digs up everything that was brill, ace and skill about the early Eighties for a nostalgic and fanciful tale of friendship, French fops and shooting on a (licorice) shoestring.
