Described as a warm-hearted comedy in the spirit of The Full Monty, The Broken Arrow follows local darts champion Barry Barnes, whose life spirals out of control after the death of his mentor. Battling grief, alcoholism, and self-destruction, Barry’s downward spiral culminates in a drunken accident that costs him an arm.
Faced with rebuilding his life and confronting his past, Barry sets his sights on an unlikely comeback. With one final chance at glory, he must overcome his personal demons and take on his arch-rival, the formidable “Darts Vader.”
With darts enjoying renewed popularity and cultural relevance, The Broken Arrow combines underdog sports comedy with themes of perseverance, friendship, and redemption.
