The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Nearly 50 years on from its release, Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess's novel remains a chilling, unsettling and uncompromising cinematic vision of the decline of civilisation and social control.

Set in a dystopian near-future where gangs of disenfranchised teenagers indulge in narcotic cocktails and revel in acts of ‘ultraviolence’, the film centres on Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his band of droogs.
