Get Duked! is black comedy film written and directed by Ninian Doff in his feature directorial debut, and starring Eddie Izzard. The film premiered at the 2019 South by Southwest Film Festival and was released by Amazon Studios on Prime Video on 28 August 2020.
Three rebellious teens are given one last chance to turn their lives around. So they set off and attempt to complete The Duke of Edinburgh Award trek, across the highlands.
Presenting Get Duked official trailer, a new Amazon Original movie, winner of Audience Award at SXSW 2019 Film Festival, directed by Ninian Doff, starring Eddie Izzard, Kate Dickey, Georgie Glen, James Cosmo and a breakout young cast featuring Samuel Bottomley, Viraj Juneja, Rian Gordon, and Lewis Gribben.
Dean, Duncan and DJ Beatroot are teenage pals from Glasgow who embark on the character-building camping trip — based on a real-life program — known as the Duke of Edinburgh Award, where foraging, teamwork and orienteering are the order of the day. Eager to cut loose and smoke weed in the Scottish Highlands, the trio find themselves paired with straight-laced Ian, a fellow camper determined to play by the rules. De-routing into a challenging farmland that is out of their urban comfort zone, the boys get hunted down by a shadowy force wanting to extinguish their futures. From writer-director Ninian Doff — making his feature debut after a slew of award-winning music videos and short films for artists including Run the Jewels, Miike Snow, Migos, and Mykki Blanco — comes an anarchic satire of generational politics, hip-hop loving farmers and hallucinogenic rabbit droppings that pits the youth of tomorrow against the status quo of yesterday.
