The Phantom of the Open

The Phantom of the Open

2021

The joyful true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator from Barrow-in-Furness who blagged his way into the 1976 British Open golf championship despite having never played a round in his life and became a beloved folk hero in the process. Mark Rylance is irresistible as the magnificently deluded and utterly loveable Flitcroft in this warm and life-affirming British comedy.
