The Riot Club is a 2014 British thriller drama film directed by Lone Scherfig and written by Laura Wade, based on Wade's 2010 play Posh. The film stars Sam Claflin, Max Irons and Douglas Booth. It is set among the Riot Club, a fictional all-male, exclusive dining club at the University of Oxford. When the play Posh premiered, the Riot Club was often described as a thinly veiled version of the real-life Bullingdon Club, although according to Wade, it is entirely fictitious.
The film was released in cinemas in the United Kingdom by Universal Pictures International on September 19, 2014. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $3.5 million at the box office.
