Based on Laura Wade's hit play, THE RIOT CLUB tells the story of an exclusive Oxford University undergraduate dining society. As term begins the Club finds itself two members short, so President James (Freddie Fox) urges his fellow Club Members to find some suitable candidates to join their set. Meanwhile, Miles (Max Irons) joins Oxford, keen to throw himself into University life. He finds himself drawn to Lauren (Holliday Grainger), an attractive and spirited working class student who he finds a refreshing change from the girls he's used to dating. Lauren is soon vying for Miles' attention with Hugo (Sam Reid), an older student and member of the Riot Club who sees Miles as potential Club material. Miles is seduced by Hugo's offer to join and after passing an initiation test with flying colours he becomes the Club's ninth member. The Club finds its tenth and final member in Alistair (Sam Claflin), chosen largely on the basis that he's the younger brother of an ex-Rioter.The Riot Club gathers at a village pub for a night that promises a ten-bird roast, unlimited alcohol and, above all, unbridled debauchery. Alistair and Miles find themselves pitched against one another as they battle to win the approval of the Club. As the drink flows and tempers flare, the evening spirals into drunken mayhem. After the disturbing events of the dinner the boys are forced to face up to their actions, as they deal with the repercussions of their reckless behaviour. Threatened with being thrown out of the University, the Riot Club must decide who takes the fall.
