Emma Watson, Katie Chang and Israel Broussard star in writer-director Sofia Coppola's fact-based crime drama about a gang of teen robbers who targeted celebrities' homes.
In 2008 and 2009 a spate of burglaries was committed in the Hollywood Hills; among those affected were Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom and Lindsay Lohan. The perpetrators were a group teens who, desiring the glamorous lifestyle they saw all around them but lacking the cash to afford it, decided to steal it instead...
The film features a game cameo from Paris Hilton, whose home was so stuffed with luxurious trinkets that she failed to spot that she'd been burgled several times; the scenes relating to these thefts were shot in Hilton's actual home.
The Bling Ring is a Film programme that first aired in 2013 and has been classified a 15 certificate.
