See the films the platforms disagree about most →A tactless and egotistical radio DJ finds his station taken over by a corporate conglomerate. When a fellow DJ is fired, he leads an armed siege of the building. The management turns to the DJ, Alan Partridge, to act as a negotiator, seeing him as the only person the gunman will listen to. Alan sees the crisis as an opportunity to boost his own career, leading to a comedic and chaotic situation.
