ActionAdventureComedyCrime90 min

When a new media conglomerate takes over his radio station, Alan Partridge ends up in the middle of a hostage crisis. Steve Coogan is Alan, the self-important DJ whose workplace shake-up turns dangerous after dismissed colleague Pat Farrell (Colm Meaney) takes over the building. With police outside and coworkers trapped inside, Alan is pulled in as an uneasy negotiator, trying to stay useful as the siege puts his bluster and opportunism under pressure.
