A Music Box Films Release
A universal story of friendship, rebellion, and the irresistible power of music set against the backdrop of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994, which banned unlicensed raves across the UK, BEATS follows best friends and polar opposites Johnno and Spanner who, realizing they are destined for different futures, sneak out to an illegal party in pursuit of one last crazy night together.
“Terrific! A druggy, mind-blowing, eye-opening, open-air, law-defying rave” -- Variety
“Euphoric Brit grit… Infectiously enjoyable.” -- The Hollywood Reporter
