Director Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air) takes us back in time and behind the scenes to the tumultuous lead-up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live on October 11, 1975. Told in real-time, the film captures the chaos, creativity, and raw energy of the young comedians and writers who would go on to revolutionise pop culture – including creative mastermind Lorne Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle) and up-and-coming stars Chevy Chase (Cory Michael Smith) and Dan Aykroyd (Dylan O'Brien).

As the venerated American sketch show gears up to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year, Saturday Night not only offers an insightful glimpse into a pivotal moment in TV history but also celebrates the audacity and spirit of those who defied the odds to create a lasting cultural legacy.
