In the mid-1960s, rebellious DJs decide to live on a boat and broadcast rock music over the airwaves against the wishes of the British government. 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. The high-spirited story of how 8 DJs' love affair with rock n' roll changed the world forever. In the 1960s this group of rogue DJs, on a boat in the middle of the Northern Atlantic, played rock records and broke the law for the love of music. The film is packed with the music that defined a generation and will leave you rocking out all day and all night. "Richard Curtis is good at handling large casts, establishing all the characters and keeping them alive."--Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...the new rock-saturated comedy that proves life really is better when it's set to a '60s soundtrack, is, to borrow from the Stones, 'a gas! gas! gas!'"--Los Angeles Times "For its wicked innocence, this is the finest rock movie since 'Almost Famous.'"--New York Post
