The Riot Club is a 2014 British thriller drama film directed by Lone Scherfig and written by Laura Wade, based on Wade's 2010 play Posh.[2] The film stars Sam Claflin, Max Irons and Douglas Booth.[3] It is set among the Riot Club, a fictional all-male, exclusive dining club at the University of Oxford. When the play Posh premiered, the Riot Club was often described as a thinly veiled version of the real-life Bullingdon Club, although according to Wade, it is entirely fictitious.[4]
The film was released in cinemas in the United Kingdom by Universal Pictures International on September 19, 2014. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $3.5 million at the box office.
