Make Believe. Not War.
The story of two schoolboys who are inspired by the film Rambo: First Blood to make their own action adventure film, which they hope will win them a young film-maker competition.
Neglected youngster Lee Carter — the worst-behaved boy in school — has access to the home video equipment used by his bullying elder brother's video pirating enterprise.
Will couldn't be more different; quiet and shy he comes from a family that belongs to the strict Plymouth Brethren religious sect. Will is forbidden to watch films or television and is made to leave his classroom when the teacher puts on a documentary film. In the corridor he meets Lee, thrown out of another class for bad behavior.
