Young Will Proudfoot (Bill Milner) lives with a devoutly religious family, and he's told not to associate with ruffians. Along comes the local bad boy at school, Lee Carter (Will Poulter), who wants to make a movie and enlists Will's help.
Will sees "First Blood" and falls in love with Rambo, and centers his story around being the son of Rambow and rescuing him from an evil scarecrow. As the boys continue making the film, they slowly become friends, then eventually blood brothers.
But when a French exchange student named Didier (Jules Sitruk) comes to town, he becomes the center of attention, and Will includes him and all his friends in the film, ostracizing Lee, who becomes angry and bitter towards Will.
After an accident, however, the boys realize the true meaning of friendship and what it really means to be a brother.
"Son of Rambow" brings viewers back to the innocence of youth, what it means to be a kid, and shows the value and longevity of friendship, even when you find it in the most unexpected places. A truly excellent film with stellar performances, one that shouldn't be missed.
