Danny Boyle directs this adaptation of James Graham's acclaimed play on the rise of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, starring Guy Pearce, Jack O'Connell and Claire Foy.

In the late 1960s, the millionaire Rupert Murdoch (Guy Pearce) and veteran newspaper editor Larry Lamb (Jack O'Connell) team up to hatch a wild plan: challenge London's leading newspaper with a brash new form of journalism. And they hope to win comeuppance against the snobbish British aristocratic elite. As Lamb reinvents Murdoch's tabloid The Sun, he becomes an attack dog, devolving his newspaper into a sensationalistic, sexually explicit and right-leaning rag—and watches sales skyrocket. 

Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) works from James Graham's adaptation of his own hit play, taking darkly exuberant comic delight in a wild underdog story with radically destructive results. Claire Foy plays the woman's page editor Jules Davies, and the trio's superb performances, along with Boyle's inventive visual pastiche, make Ink mesmerizing, disturbing entertainment.
