In 1985, working-class student Brian Jackson (James McAvoy) navigates his first year at Bristol University. Brian's biggest concern is making the team for the long-running British television quiz show University Challenge. He also finds himself romantically torn between two very different girls: blonde bombshell and team mate Alice (Alice Eve) and the politically-concious Rebecca (Rebecca Hall).
With a backdrop of anti-Apartheid rallies, filthy dorm rooms, and marijuana smoke, not to mention Margaret Thatcher's economically depressed Blighty, the film also features a killer new-wave soundtrack: The Cure, Wham!, Bananarama, Yaz, The Smiths, New Order, Tears For Fears, Echo And The Bunnymen, The Buzzcocks and The Psychedelic Furs.
