3 Mile Limit

The boys on the Tiri and Tiri II braved storms, police and seasickness to broadcast pirate radio to Auckland. This film relates their story in a rather cliched fashion. The acting and filmography is decent. The writers mucked around with timelines unnecessarily, presumeably for dramatic effect. Its worth a watch, and has some nice retro touches in its settings.

A true story told in a very 'real' manner and enjoyable to watch! A must watch for all, as not only does it display an accurate account of New Zealand's history, but also gives the audience an insight into our 'kiwi' ingenuity and perseverance! A classic movie with spirit and soul!!!

This is an epic Kiwi tale of the little guys fighting the bureaucrats to establish New Zealand's first Rock Radio Station, Radio Hauraki. When they couldn't get a legal radio license to operate a radio station, they set sail in a rickety old boat, the "Tiri" and start broadcasting from International waters just off the coast of Auckland. Its a tale of shear determination in the face of overwhelming odds. There is tragedy and euphoria in equal measures. The cast do a great job and really bring the story alive. Recommended!

My husband picked this film and it was totally not what I was expecting. I was totally captivated after the dramatic opening scene. What a wonderfully told story which is based on a true story.

I had no idea this actually happened and it's incredible these young people were so courageous to do what they did. The story was brilliantly told and the actors knew what their characters needed to say.

An impressive film well worth the watch 10 stars from me!

Loved this NZ made movie, didn't have any expectations, so was pleasantly surprised by this gem. It had a bit of everything for me, adventure, humor, romance, and a good story line.

Loved Matt Whelan! Good to see a mostly New Zealand cast.

I can see why this film is winning International Film Awards. Would be nice if it got the same recognition in New Zealand. The movie left me feeling good after wards and made me appreciate that we can now listen to any music station we wish to tune in to, thanks to the determination of a few very brave Radio Pirates. This movie definitely has a very New Zealand flavor which is very refreshing to see.
