Based on James Graham’s Tony and Laurence Olivier Award-winning play, Danny Boyle’s (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire) whirlwind film takes us inside the explosive birth of The Sun in 1969.

Rupert Murdoch (Guy Pearce) recruits editor Larry Lamb (Jack O’Connell) to turn a failing newspaper into a sensation, unleashing a brash new brand of tabloid journalism where outrageous headlines and provocative stories drive circulation skyward, alongside a healthy dose of public scrutiny. Amidst the newsroom’s hard-changing boys’ club, Jules Davies (Claire Foy) fights to make space for a modern female perspective and discovers the limits of the revolution she’s joined. 

Fast, provocative, and darkly entertaining, Ink chronicles the rise of a media empire and the birth of a tabloid blueprint that still resonates today. 

“Hammered into vibrant life by a director whose default setting is adrenaline overdose.”
