In the wonderfully eccentric true story Craig Roberts brings to life, Mark Rylance stars as Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer and crane operator who, on a whim, decides to enter the British Open Golf Championship. With unwavering support from his loving wife, played by Sally Hawkins, and a blissful ignorance of the sport's elite standards, Maurice embarks on an improbable quest that sends shockwaves through the staid world of professional golf. His charmingly disastrous attempts to qualify, aided by his twin sons Christian Lees and Jonah Lees, pit his boundless optimism against the game's furious gatekeepers, including a determined official portrayed by Mark Lewis Jones. This heartwarming comedy-drama, written by Simon Farnaby, celebrates the sheer joy of chasing an absurd dream, painting a portrait of an underdog whose spirit proves far more formidable than his swing.
