In 1976 Barrow-in-Furness crane operator Maurice Flitcroft pretends to be a professional golfer at the British Open.
Another British story of parochial underdogs (similar in spirit to The Duke), with lots of clichés thrown in - many of them historically true - and meticulously observed by its leading man.
