Au cours de son parcours scolaire, John Maybury suit tout d'abord les cours de l'université de Londres, puis est accepté à Central Martin, la prestigieuse école d'art londonienne.

Pendant les années 1980, il produit un certain nombre de courts-métrages et de clips vidéos, notamment la chanson Nothing Compares 2 U de Sinéad O'Connor (élue 35e meilleur morceau de musique pop lors d'un sondage de Channel 4).

After miraculously recovering from a bullet wound to the head, Gulf War veteran Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) returns to Vermont in 1992, suffering from periods of amnesia. While walking, he sees a young girl, Jackie (Laura Marano), and her alcoholic mother (Kelly Lynch) in despair beside their broken-down truck. Starks and Jackie quickly form a certain affinity; she asks him to give her his dogtags and he does so. He gets the truck started for them and continues on his way. Shortly after, a man driving along the same highway gives Jack a ride and they get pulled over by a policeman. The scene changes: Starks is found lying on the deserted roadside near the dead policeman, with a slug from the policeman's gun in his body. The murder weapon is on the ground nearby. Although he testifies there was someone else at the scene, he is not believed because of his amnesia. Starks is found not guilty by reason of insanity and is incarcerated in a mental institution.

Composé majoritairement d’archives familiales du cinéaste, complétées d’images de ruines et de décadence, The Last of England, d’une actualité stupéfiante, dénonce la médiocrité d’une société, l’Angleterre ultra-libérale de Thatcher, dans une vision futuriste et altruiste où violences politiques, sociales et psychologiques sont intimement mêlées.
