In 1971, during the Irish Civil War, a young British soldier is accidentally abandoned by his army unit following a riot on the deadly streets of Belfast.

Exhibition

'71's box office takings were $55,761 (27th February 2015). Its Gross was $1,268,760 (1st May 2015). I would expect '71 to be shown in 02 VUE because of the amount of countries it was distributed to, so it must be popular, as well as the production companies releasing other films into cinemas. '71 is also available on home exhibitions such as;

• Online/ Netflix/ YouTube
• DVD
• TV

Horizontal and Vertical integration

Warp Films is its own independent film company. As they don't always have a big budget, they partner up with other companies to share out the budget. For example, '71 was influenced by 3 independent film companies.
