Four life-long friends are about to have a day they will never forget. Not only are they embarking on an epic night out to say goodbye to their friend Billy before he joins the Army, but their favorite band, The Smiths, has just broken up. As they go from one wild adventure to the next, they listen along as an impassioned Smiths fan takes a local radio DJ hostage, forcing him to play only songs from the dearly departed band. Featuring an incredible soundtrack – including 20 songs from The Smiths – Shoplifters of the World is a glorious ode to the craziness of the '80s.
