A rogue band of DJs captivate Britain in the 1960s. The music they play defines a generation and the DJs stand up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. The Count is a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin is the boss of Radio Rock. Radio rock is a pirate radio station situated in the middle of the North Atlantic that's populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs that include: Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America who wants to reclaim his rightful position; Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation.

Awesome submitted by mysterio on July 28, 2011, 2:56pm Awesome
just ok.. submitted by bookher on August 19, 2017, 3:59pm I sure wouldn't call it a "rip-roaring comedy" but it had some funny moments. Great talent in the actors but the plot should have been more developed.
The 1960s, man submitted by hoppingfun on September 14, 2022, 2:37pm I loved this romp into a time, place that I remember (as a kid)—when rock and roll ruled and youth rebelled. The script is excellent with some really funny lines, and what a cast: Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branaugh playing cartoony OTT but funny characters, Philip Seymour Hoffman is a perfect DJ, all of them inhabiting the roles and the times. Reminds me a bit of Almost Famous, as we see this crazy world through the eyes of a naive teen.
