Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.

Set 20 years after the original movie, we see our favourite once drug-addled Scotsman reunited. After Renton pledged to make his life better and stop taking heroin, he ran off with the takings of the groups drug-deal and had not been seen by any of the group since. Troublemaker Begbie is still on the wrong side of the law and finds his temper taking control and constantly getting him into trouble, once he's released from jail, causing mayhem comes as standard for the moustachioed brute.

Spud has changed the least but he's still the most genuine member of the group. Sickboy finds himself running a pub a failing pub which he tries to modernise. In a bid to make money, Sickboy finds himself becoming entwined with various shady characters looking to make money by legal and illegal means.

While most of the group have found themselves cutting their intake of heroin, that doesn't mean that they're on the straight and narrow. Each one is still battling various demons from their past and make a living example of the old adage 'old habits die hard'.

Whilst it's one thing to say 'choose life', it's another to find a way to do it cleanly is quite another.

The original Trainspotting movie was released in 1996 and launched Danny Boyle's career. The story was based on Irvine Welshes' book of the same name. In a similar way, T2 is based on Irvine's follow-up novel Porno but is said to be more loosely based on than the original movie.
