Synopsis

Loosely based on Alan Clarke's 1989 classic TV film, director Nick Love's version is set earlier in the 1980s and retells a similar story to the original but from a different character's perspective.

The film centres on Dom (Calum McNab), a young wannabe football casual, who becomes drawn into the world of the firm's top boy, Bex (Paul Anderson). Bex's world is charismatic but dangerous as Bex and his gang clash with rival firms throughout the country.

As the violence and friction between the firms escalates, Dom's concern at his present situation makes him realise he wants out - but its too late to simply be able to turn his back on them and walk away!

THE FIRM is a classic coming of age tale set within one of England's most revered tribes.
