The story of the greatest England cricket team ever hits the big screen

The film is the rock ‘n’ roll story of how between 2009 and 2013, the England Test cricket team rose from the depths of the rankings to become the first and only English side to reach world number one and become one of the greatest English sporting teams of all time.

Directed by Barney Douglas (Warriors), it is a compelling, funny and emotional insight into a band of brothers’ rise to the top, their unmatched achievements and the huge toll it would take mentally on the players.

The film explores the ruthless intensity of the game, the impact it can have on players’ mental health and the extreme price of success, and it will be partnering with Heads Together, a mental health initiative spearheaded by The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

With incredible unseen footage from the period and compelling new interviews from star players and coaching staff, including Andrew Strauss, Sir Alastair Cook, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott and Andy Flower, The Edge will reveal the team’s intense and often hilarious pursuit of success.
