The Greatest Beer Run Ever
Available: Friday 30 September Genre: One-off comedy drama
Based on a bonkers true story from the 1960s, this heartfelt comedy drama follows John ‘Chickie’ Donohue (Zac Efron), who decides to smuggle beer to his old neighbourhood friends fighting in Vietnam to show them that the country is still behind them. But his well-meaning journey turns into the adventure of a lifetime when he’s confronted with the realities of front-line battle and discovers that getting out of a war zone is much harder than getting into one. The coming-of-age tale also stars Russell
Crowe as hardened war photographer Arthur Coates, and Bill Murray as The Colonel, the owner of Chickie’s favourite watering hole in
New York, who challenges him to go on the beer run in the first place.
