This movie is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the 1960s and pop music. Its about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that wanted classical music, and nothing else, on the airwaves. The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin (Bill Nighy), the boss of Radio Rock - a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea thats populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin (Rhys Ifans), the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave (Nick Frost), 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.
In the mid 1960s, the BBC plays little pop music. To the ire of conservative elements of the U.K. government, a pirate radio station operates on a ship off the coast, capturing half of the English audience. Fatherless young Carl (Tom Sturridge), thrown out of school for smoking, is remanded by his elegant mother to the ship, where colorful men, and a lesbian, run the station. Every two weeks, women come on board. He falls for the station managers niece. Theres a feud for DJ primacy between an expatriate American and an English god; the midnight DJ says little, the early morning jock rarely appears, and back on shore, a government minister is implacable. Can he sink the ship and silence rock and roll?
