“Yesterday” is a British musical fantasy comedy film. Here protagonist Jack Malik is a struggling singer-songwriter from Clacton-on-Sea whose dreams of fame are rapidly fading, despite the fierce devotion and support of his childhood best friend, Ellie.
After a freak bus accident during a mysterious global blackout, Jack finds himself in another world where he is the only person who remembers The Beatles and becomes famous taking credit for writing and performing their songs.
The film stars Himesh Patel as a musician, Lily James, Kate McKinnon, and Ed Sheeran also star. With the assistance of his steel-hearted American agent, Debra, Jack rises to global fame by performing songs by the band. However, as his star rises, he risks losing Ellie — the one person who always believed in him.
The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on 4 May and will be released in the United Kingdom on 28 June by Universal Pictures.
