The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy, where the romance is between the young people of the 60s, and pop music.

Loosely based on the events in Britain in the 60's when the Labour government of Harold Wilson, wanted to bring the pirate radio stations under control, enough to see the passage of the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act on 15 August 1967. Also known as "Pirate Radio".
