The Gamechangers

This 90-minute factual drama delves into the creation of the popular video game Grand Theft Auto, considered one of the most significant achievements in British programming since Bletchley Park. Unlike typical Silicon Valley products, this record-breaking entertainment phenomenon was developed by a group of British game designers. These designers, friends since their school days, are led by the visionary Sam Houser. By 2002, Sam and his team had crafted an expansive virtual universe for their fans, filled with a thrilling blend of criminal figures, deadly weapons, and outrageous narratives. Players can even customize their avatars, tailoring their character’s traits and appearance to their liking. Aimed at an adult audience, this drama is not officially sanctioned by the creators of Grand Theft Auto. Instead, it draws from court records and interviews with many individuals involved in the true events that inspired this captivating tale.
