Plot Synopsis

Ten year-old Will Proudfoot (Bill Milner) has lead a very sheltered life. His strict religious and moral upbringing has excluded the adolescent joys of music, movies or television. Instead he gets his excitement by expressing himself through drawings and illustrations.

Until he finds himself caught up in the extraordinary world of Lee Carter (Will Poulter), the school terror and maker of bizarre home videos. Lee Carter exposes Will to a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood and from that pivotal life-changing moment on Will becomes so obsessed by superstar Sylvester Stallone’s iconic Vietnam War hero he’s easily convinced to be the stuntman in Lee Carter’s latest action masterpiece.

Against family orders Will’s imaginative brain begins to flower in the world of experimental filmmaking and his innocent ambitions lead to a true bond with Lee Carter. They even start to make a popular name for themselves at school as movie moguls.

But when cool French exchange student Didier Revol, (Jules Sitruk) arrives on the scene searching for stardom their unique friendship and precious film are pushed to breaking point.
