A remake of the 80s New Zealand classic Goodbye Pork Pie, Pork Pie tracks the escapades of a trio of accidental outlaws as they travel the length of New Zealand in an orange MINI, protesting conformity and chasing lost love with a posse of cops and a frenzied media in hot pursuit.
Jon (Dean O’Gorman, THE HOBBIT Trilogy, TRUMBO), a charming but out-of-luck novelist, musters the bravery needed to try and win back the love of his life by surprising her at a friend’s wedding. One problem: he’s in Auckland and the wedding is in Wellington.
After a failed attempt to make the journey south in his bomby Holden, Jon hitches a ride with Luke (James Rolleston, BOY, THE DARK HORSE), a sparky young dude driving a fancy new (and, unbeknownst to Jon, stolen) yellow MINI Cooper.
Soon after, undercover vegan-activist Keira (Ashleigh Cummings, HOUNDS OF LOVE, ‘Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries’) climbs through the fast food drive-through window into the MINI bound for Wellington and the Blondini gang of three are formed. As they journey south, the most epic road trip of their lives ensues.
To add to Jon’s romantic struggles, he and his two new mates become accidental outlaws on-the-run and soon have a frenzy of police and media hot in their pursuit.
