Academy Award-winner Mark Rylance stars in a feel-good comedy-drama that tells the remarkable true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator and optimistic dreamer from Barrow-in-Furness who gains entry to the 1976 British Open qualifying, despite never playing a round of golf in his life. With pluckiness, unwavering self-belief, with the support of his family, 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.
