Set in England in the early 80’s, Son of Rambow, is a touching story about the friendship of two young boys who couldn’t be more different from one another.
Will (played by Bill Milner) is a quiet and well-behaved boy from a family that belongs to the Plymouth Brethren religious sect. He isn’t allowed to watch television and is sent out of the class when his teacher puts a video on. It is then that he meets Lee Carter (played by Will Poulter) who has been sent out of class once again for bad behaviour.
The two boys get into trouble and Lee manipulates Will and promises to take the blame and punishment if he will help him out. Will takes the bait and agrees to help Lee with his film.
Will then sees a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood at Lee’s house and from then on the boys throw themselves into making an action film.
The journey Lee and Will make together is both comical and emotional. The boys realise how much they need eachother as they fall into their unconventional friendship. Their experiences change the lives of not only themselves but of their friends and family too.
Son of Rambow is a beautiful film expressing how people can be friends despite their differences.
