	Movies - The Football Factory

The Football Factory is a 2004 British film, directed by Nick Love and starring Danny Dyer and Frank Harper. It is based on the popular novel of the same name by John King. The film is the first foray into film-making by video game producers Rockstar Games, credited as Executive Producers.

The film is about football hooliganism, which is especially problematic in the United Kingdom, and focusses on two firms; the Chelsea Headhunters and the Millwall Bushwhackers. Other hooligan groups also feature, such as from Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Stoke City. The main confrontation in the film is between the Headhunters and the Bushwhackers, however.

Plot

The film is about the lives of four different people, the first of whom is Tommy Johnson, who is the protagonist, and is the link between the other three characters. He is an ordinary thirty-year-old, with a close family and steady job. Billy Bright is an embittered right-wing fascist who is part of the Chelsea Headhunters. Zeberdee is a hooligan who has descended into crime and drug-use. Finally, Bill Farrell is a 70-year-old war veteran who tries to live life to the fullest.
