Rita's sensitivity to injustice and her sheer nerve make her the ideal candidate to plead the women's case for better wages after the announcement that their status at the factory is being reduced from semiskilled to unskilled. But what really enrages her is that men at the same level receive substantially higher wages.

Her supportive colleagues include the shop steward Connie (Geraldine James), whose unstable husband, George (Roger Lloyd-Pack), returned from World War II with what used to be called battle fatigue; Sandra (Jaime Winstone), a saucy aspiring model who struts around in hot pants; and Albert (Bob Hoskins), their sympathetic union representative. An unexpected supporter of Rita's is Lisa (Rosamund Pike), the Cambridge-educated wife of Peter Hopkins (Rupert Graves), the plant's cold, implacably hard-nosed head of industrial relations.

Besides Peter, the women's opposition includes Monty (Kenneth Cranham), the waffling, corruptible leader of the union local, and Ford's middle and upper management, portrayed as uniformly smug, condescending male jerks whose initial reaction to the upstarts is contemptuous disbelief.

Once the rebellion begins, with a one-day work stoppage that eventually leads to the factory's closing, the conflict between the women and management becomes more heated. Ford finally dispatches an American representative to issue dire warnings that the company might pull out of Britain. Caught in the crosshairs is Barbara Castle (Miranda Richardson), the country's sharp-tongued secretary of state for employment and productivity, who sympathizes with Rita but is forced to take the threat seriously.

The story turns into a series of almost cookie-cutter confrontations between Rita and her arrogant bosses as the women's cause advances. The movie touches lightly on issues like globalization (not yet a catchword in 1968) and the strike's effects on the livelihoods of the other workers once the plant is shut down. It soft-pedals the potentially devastating impact of Rita's activities on her marriage and home life (Eddie is hesitantly supportive). In the movie's value system, these are minor matters compared with the principle at stake.

"Made in Dagenham" is so smoothly written and well acted that its humanity and good will leave you with a 1960s buzz of hope that social justice might be at hand; that feeling wears off quickly.
