 In 1966-British pop music's finest era-the BBC played just two hours of rock and roll every week. But pirate radio played rock and pop from the high seas 24 hours a day. And 25 million people-more than half the population of Britain-listened to the pirates every single day.
Recently expelled from school, Carl (Tom Sturridge) has been sent by his mother to find some direction in life by visiting his godfather, Quentin (Bill Nighy). However, Quentin is the boss of Radio Rock, a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea, populated by an eclectic crew of rock-and-roll deejays.
They are led by The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman)-big, brash, American god of the airwaves and totally in love with the music. He's faithfully backed up by his co-broadcasters Dave (Nick Frost)-ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny; Simon (Chris O'Dowd)-super-nice and searching for true love; Midnight Mark (Tom Wisdom)-enigmatic, handsome and a man of few words; Wee Small Hours Bob (Ralph Brown)-the late-night deejay, whose hobbies are folk music and drugs; Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke)-possessor of the smallest intelligence known to mankind; On-the-Hour John (Will Adamsdale)-the newsreader; and Angus “The Nut” Nutsford (Rhys Darby)-possibly the most annoying man in Britain.
