The Phantom of the Open (12)

Director Craig Roberts. Comedy/Drama/Sport


THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN tells the remarkable true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator and optimistic dreamer from Barrow-in-Furness who, with the support of his family and friends, managed to gain entry to the 1976 British Open, despite never playing a round of golf before. With pluckiness and unwavering self-belief, Maurice pulls off a series of stunning, hilarious and heartwarming attempts to compete at the highest level of professional golf, drawing the ire of the golfing elite but becoming a British folk hero in the process.

Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

Enjoyed by audience, even the non-golf enthusiasts. Engaging portrayals by Mark Rylance and his delightfully loyal wife.

Great fun film. Ideal for a foggy December night!

Genuinely funny film with lovely heartwarming story behind it. Would watch it again
