Thu, 13 May 2004 - Based on the best selling novel by John King, directed by Nick Love, and executive produced by Rockstar, “The Football Factory” is a study of middle England, football violence and male culture. The story centers around Tommy Johnson, a bored twenty-something who lives for the weekend - casual sex, casual drugs, watered down lager… and football violence. Tommy’s life ambles along until a violent encounter with a rival firm top boy starts a tit for tat war and a series of nightmares that force him to ask himself the question about his life: is it worth it?
Told through Tommy’s eyes and linked together by his relationships with three other generations of males, The Football Factory is an adrenaline rush of a story about friendship, revenge and violence.
This is England’s worst nightmare. Enjoy it.
