Great movies can be made by anyone - or so hope the heroes of Son of Rambow, a hugely likeable coming-of-age tale set in the Britain of the 1980s. Having heard about a competition that's being run for young film-makers, Lee is determined not just to take part, but to triumph - despite always being in trouble at school, he's got plenty of ambition and sees his older brother's dodgy video equipment as the way to fulfil it . But his plans don't come alive until he meets Will - a shy kid whose religious parents won't let him watch movies at all. Together, the unlikely duo decide to make an action-packed sequel to the adventure movie Rambo (a huge hit in the 80s) - and the results paint paint a warm and funny picture of growing up (and making movies!)
