Paul, a former miner, pens a gritty screenplay based on his personal experience of the 1984 miners’ strike. When a Hollywood studio acquires the script, it reshapes it into a wildly sensationalist, anachronistic action movie, casting Al Pacino as union leader Arthur Scargill and Meryl Streep as his wife, completely distorting the original intent.
