High Noon

On 22 June 1986, in front of 114,580 fans at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium and a global TV audience, England and Argentina faced off for a World Cup quarter-final - it would go down as the most infamous game in the tournament's history. High Noon is a richly evocative account of that afternoon, and the fallout that rumbles on today. Just four years after the Falklands War, this was a grudge match that resonated far beyond the field of play. On the pitch a showdown between these two footballing nations had been brewing since a poisonous World Cup quarter-final between the two sides at Wembley 20 years earlier. High Noon is the story of two iconic managers, and two sets of players that travelled a variety of paths to reach the biggest game of their lives. One of them, Diego Maradona, was blessed with a genius both mesmerising and Machiavellian. Inside four incredible minutes in the second half, he would score two of the most famous goals in history, the notorious 'hand of God' goal and the spectacular 'goal of the century'.
