Part 2/8:
The film opens with a flashback to June 22, 1990, the last day of high school for Gary and his friends: Oliver, Peter, Steven, and Andy. Overjoyed by their graduation, the group initiates a challenge known as the Golden Mile—drinking a pint at each of the town's twelve pubs, culminating at The World's End. Their lively celebration takes a turn when they lose Oliver midway and, rather comically, find themselves too intoxicated to finish their ambitious quest. This leads to a night of unfortunate accidents, culminating in the missed visits to the last three pubs while gazing at a shooting star from a hilltop.
