TV presenter Reggie Yates' feature debut Pirates is a time machine that takes us back to the turn of the millennium.
Cappo (Elliot Edusah), Two Tonne (Jordan Peters) and Kidda (Reda Elzaouar) run a pirate radio station and are looking for a way to celebrate New Year's Eve 1999 in style. It won't be as easy as it sounds though, as the ensemble lurch from disaster to disaster in search for the golden tickets that will take them to the so-called clubbing event of the millennium.
For the youth of today, the film offers a light-hearted representation of life before social media, whilst for those who partied their way into the millennium, it provides 90s nostalgia in bucket-loads.
