The Gamechangers is a 2015 British docudrama produced by the BBC. The programme is an unauthorised depiction of the controversies caused by Grand Theft Auto, a successful video game series, as various attempts were made to halt the production of the games.
Directed by Owen Harris and written by James Wood, the film centres on the legal feud between Rockstar Games president Sam Houser (Daniel Radcliffe) and Florida attorney Jack Thompson (Bill Paxton) over the video games and the debate regarding the psychological effects of violent video games.[1]
