The seminal ’90s British classic ‘BOSTON KICKOUT’ returns in a brand-new 30th Anniversary 4K restoration, supervised by director Paul Hills.
Synopsis: In the ’80s, Phil’s father moves the family from an inner-city slum to Stevenage, hoping for a better life. By the early ’90s that dream has crumbled. Phil (John Simm) and his friends face unemployment, violence and drugs. When cousin Shona (Emer McCourt) arrives, Phil gets the push he needs to change—but first he must make some momentous decisions.
