  • 24 Hour Party People is a 2002 biographical British film telling the story of Tony Wilson, a local news reporter (played by Steve Coogan), who attends a pivotal gig by The Sex Pistols in the 1970s and, believing he is living in "one of the most important fucking times in human history", decides to start a record company called Factory Records and a club, The Hacienda. The film follows Tony and Factory as money is lost, lead singers commit suicide, Record Producer Martin Hannett goes insane and try to kill Tony, the birth of "Madchester" music and rave culture, Happy Mondays sell their equipment and studio for crack and then attempt to hold their new album for ransom... You wouldn't get this kinda stuff in a film about EMI. The film focuses largely on two of Factory's most popular artists, Joy Division (and their later reformation as New Order) and The Happy Mondays, although it also features A Certain Ratio and Durutti Column to a lesser extent. Not to be confused with the trope Twenty-Four-Hour Party People (which is named after the Happy Mondays song that also gives this movie its name) about background extras who show up at parties for or thrown by a work's main characters.
