Overview
About the Film
The World's End is a 2013 British science fiction comedy directed by Edgar Wright, the final installment of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. Simon Pegg stars as Gary King, a middle-aged alcoholic desperately clinging to the memory of an epic pub crawl he and his four best friends attempted as teenagers in their hometown of Newton Haven — a twelve-pub marathon called the Golden Mile that they never completed. Gary convinces his reluctant, successful, grown-up friends — including Nick Frost as Andy — to return and finish the crawl, only to discover that the town has been taken over by alien robots who have replaced most of the population with blue-blooded "blanks." Edgar Wright's signature dense, layered comedy was in full effect — the five friends' pub crawl structure provided a perfect framework for escalating chaos, and the metaphor of a man who can't stop drinking literally encountering a town that has been made artificially "better" gave the comedy genuine thematic weight.
The World's End earned $46 million worldwide on a $20 million budget.
