The Phantom of the Open

Director: Craig Roberts, Cast: Mark Rylance, Sally Hawkins, Rhys Ifans, PG-13

The heartwarming true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer, and unrelenting optimist, who managed to gain entry to The British Open Golf Championship Qualifying in 1976 and subsequently shot the worst round in Open history, becoming a folk hero in the process. The Phantom of the Open is an uplifting comedy-drama about pursuing your dreams and shooting for the stars, no matter what hand you’re dealt. “The sort of good-hearted movie the director Frank Capra would have liked to take a swing at.” —New York Times
