Get Duked! 2020

As three underachieving students (Dean, Duncan, and DJ Beatroot) embark on a journey to the Scottish Highlands with their teacher Mr. Carlyle, they are tasked with navigating the rugged terrain as part of the esteemed Duke of Edinburgh Award program. The group’s dynamics are further complicated by the addition of Ian, an academically inclined student seeking to bolster his college applications.

As the minibus driven by Carlyle departs, the students reluctantly set off towards their designated campsite, their enthusiasm tempered by the harsh realities of the Scottish wilderness. However, spirits lift when Dean reveals he has brought hashish, and the group’s initial reluctance gives way to revelry. Unbeknownst to them, a mysterious observer watches through a rifle scope as they indulge in their illicit activities.

The boys’ carefree adventure takes a turn when they encounter a farmer tilling his field, from whom they solicit directions. DJ Beatroot, ever the music aficionado, gifts the farmer his eclectic mix CD. As they continue on their journey, they stumble upon an aristocratic figure clad in upper-class hunting attire and seek his guidance. However, as he draws near, his mask betrays a sinister intent, prompting the stoned students to flee in terror.

In their haste, they mistake this mysterious individual for the “Duke of Edinburgh,” and Dean and Duncan’s hapless attempts at self-defense inadvertently set the would-be assassin’s leg ablaze, forcing him to retreat. The group eventually reaches their campsite, only to discover Carlyle, whose injured leg bears a striking resemblance to the injuries inflicted upon the “Duke.”

Believing that Carlyle is actually the Duke and that he will exact revenge, Duncan takes matters into his own hands, sneaking behind Carlyle and sending him tumbling under the wheels of the minibus. The students are left reeling in shock, but they quickly conspire to make Carlyle’s apparent demise appear accidental by pushing the vehicle off a nearby cliff. However, as they load Carlyle’s lifeless body into the bus, it inexplicably begins rolling back down the hill, prompting Duncan to remark that it will likely meet its fate at the edge of the precipice.

Meanwhile, local authorities Sergeant Morag and PC Hamish are interrupted in their search for a notorious bread thief after Morag receives an errant report that Duncan is a terrorist on the loose. They set off towards the students’ last known location, unaware of the chaos and carnage that has unfolded in the Highlands.

As the misadventures continue, the lads unwittingly cross paths with the enigmatic Duke once more, this time accompanied by his equally eccentric sword-wielding spouse, the “Duchess.” In a startling revelation, it becomes clear that Mr. Carlyle was not the Duke all along. As the boys make their hasty retreat, Ian finds himself separated from the group after taking an unexpected tumble into a ditch. Meanwhile, DJ Beatroot becomes embroiled in a heated debate with Dean and Duncan before setting off towards a nearby barn, where he stumbles upon a group of farmers who are ardent fans of his music - it transpires that the farmer they had previously encountered has been sharing his mixtape CD with great enthusiasm. As DJ Beatroot joins the party, holding an impromptu concert for his new friends, Dean and Duncan opt to head towards a nearby cave, where they indulge in a liberal dose of powdered soup.

In the barn, DJ Beatroot is astounded to discover a sizeable group of farmers who are besotted with his music. The earlier farmer has been sharing his mixtape CD with great relish. Enthralled by the impromptu concert, DJ Beatroot decides to party on with the farmers, much to the dismay of Dean and Duncan, who are now covered in powdered soup. As Ian’s cries for help fall on deaf ears, the Duke and Duchess capture him, prompting Dean and Duncan to spring into action, racing off to rescue their friend.

In a sudden turn of events, DJ Beatroot and the farmers arrive on the scene, chasing away the Duke and Duchess after pilfering their weapons. The next morning, the boys decide to track down the perpetrators, eventually cornering them on a scenic shoreline. The villains, held at bay by the boys’ arsenal, explain that modern youths must be culled due to their perceived entitlement and ingratitude. Dean retorts that adults have ravaged the world, leaving young people to clean up the mess. Just as all seems lost, a group of well-dressed, masked hunters emerges, wielding firearms and holding the boys at gunpoint.

As the tension reaches a boiling point, disaster strikes when the minibus plummets off a cliff, crushing the hunters beneath its weight. The relieved lads peer into the wreckage, overjoyed to discover that Mr. Carlyle is indeed still alive, albeit severely injured. After administering makeshift medical attention, Carlyle springs back to life, declaring the boys in grave trouble for attempting to kill him. The authorities, Morag and Hamish, arrive on the scene. As Carlyle attempts to recount his ordeal to Morag, Hamish unearths a staggering stash of pilfered bread in the minibus’s cargo hold - it transpires that Carlyle was the notorious bread thief.

In gratitude for their cover-up, Carlyle agrees to present the boys with the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh Award, hailing them as heroes.
