{{quote|''You're going to see a lot more of that sort of thing in the picture. I don't want to say too much, don't want to spoil it. I'll just say one word: 'Icarus'. If you get it, great. If you don't, that's fine too. But you should probably read more.''|'''Tony Wilson'''}}
'''''24 Hour Party People''''' is a 2002 biographical British film telling the story of Tony Wilson, a local news reporter (played by Steve Coogan), who attends a pivotal gig by [[Sex Pistols|The Sex Pistols]] in the 1970s and, believing he is living in "one of the most important fucking times in human history", decides to start a record company called Factory Records and a club, The Hacienda.
The film follows Tony and Factory as money is lost, lead singers commit suicide, [[Record Producer]] Martin Hannett goes insane and try to kill Tony, the birth of "Madchester" music and rave culture, Happy Mondays sell their equipment and studio for crack and then attempt to hold their new album for ransom... You wouldn't get this kinda stuff in a film about EMI.
Line 9:
Not to be confused with the trope [[Twenty-Four-Hour Party People]] (which is named after the Happy Mondays song [[Name's the Same|that also gives this movie its name]]) about background extras who show up at parties for or thrown by a work's main characters.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Taken almost to [[Recursive Reality]] levels. Steve Coogan, who played Tony Wilson, based his comedy character [[I'm Alan Partridge|Alan Partridge]] partly on Tony Wilson, and there are notable similarities between how the characters are presented.
